Bray face full-strength Blackburn

Graeme Souness will take a full-strength Blackburn Rovers squad to the Carlisle Grounds tonight when the English Premier League side take on Bray Wanderers (7.45pm).

Rovers will complete their pre-season build-up to the new Premiership campaign on Irish soil with Souness looking to finalise his starting line-up ahead of next weekend’s big kick-off against West Bromwich Albion.

Blackburn visited Bray last summer for a friendly and came away with a 3-2 victory thanks to two goals from Dwight Yorke and another from David Thompson.

Despite his well-publicised fall-out with Souness, Yorke is in the Rovers squad as will be new signings Javier De Pedro, Dominic Matteo and Paul Dickov.
