WITH Scarborough and Doncaster locked together on points in play-off spots in the Nationwide Conference, the Boxing Day all-ticket clash is a mouth-watering prospect.

Boro have now gone 17 League games with only one defeat, but are forced into at least one change for the game.

Former York City midfielder Scott Jordan was stretchered off in the win against Farnborough on Saturday and is missing from the squad with a knee injury.

Bimbo Fatokun attended a funeral in Nigeria at the weekend and the club are hoping that he will be back in the country in time to be considered for the game.

"We have won three out of three so far in December and it is important to keep our run going - one look at the league table tells you that" said Boro boss Russ Slade.

Nicky Henry is in line for a recall after a succession of niggling injuries which have kept him out of contention since the end of September.

Neil Campbell will be out to impress against his former club and the 1,500 Rovers fans expected at the game are sure to give him a warm welcome.

SCARBOROUGH: Woods, Hotte, Shepherd, Holdsworth, Ormerod, Stoker, Blunt, Henry, Mallon, Campbell, Scott Subs: Pounder, Fatokun Brassart, Dryden, Walker
