Darren Ferguson makes Doncaster managerial bow against Bradford

Darren Ferguson takes charge of Doncaster for the first time as Bradford visit the Keepmoat Stadium.

Ferguson was appointed as Paul Dickov's successor on Friday and will have had little time to assess his troops before his first game.

He will be able to welcome back Luke McCullough, from international duty, and Gary MacKenzie, from suspension.

Striker Nathan Tyson (hamstring) could also be available as Rovers look to extend their unbeaten home record in the league.

Bradford defender Reece Burke, on loan from West Ham, is expected to return to the squad following international duty with England Under-20s.

Winger Kyel Reid is hoping to have shaken off a stomach bug in time to be included, while defender Christopher Routis remains doubtful after missing the midweek Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat to Barnsley due to a calf injury.

Greg Leigh made his full debut at left-back on Tuesday night and is hoping to retain his place and make his first league appearance.

Absent midfielder Josh Morris had an injection this week as he stepped up his recovery from knee ligament damage which has kept him out of the last five matches.
