Rovers to face Preston in July

02 June 2009 15:04
Rovers boss Ronnie Moore believes the visit of Alan Irvine's beaten Championship play-off semi-finalists will provide his men with an ideal examination. He said: "Preston will give us a good test ahead of the new season. "Alan Irvine has a strong squad of players who were unfortunate not to make it to Wembley for the play-off final and they will provide us with the standard of opposition we need." Tranmere will also host defeated League Two finalists Shrewsbury at Prenton Park on Saturday, August 1.
