Rovers missing key duo

Blackburn manager Graeme Souness is without Lucas Neill and Barry Ferguson for tomorrow’s second leg of the UEFA Cup first-round tie against Turkish side Genclerbirligi at Ewood Park.

Neill has lost half a stone battling against pneumonia, while Ferguson is cup tied after playing for Rangers in a Champions League qualifier earlier this season. The duo join long-term injury victims Craig Short and Markus Babbel on the sidelines.
