DION Scott is set to play tonight in the home Division Three clash with Southend United despite having stitches to a nose cut.

The centre-back was injured during Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Scunthorpe United but should be fit along with skipper Sean Flynn who has suffered with a sore knee.

Fellow midfielder Sam Shilton is still available but has been told he must have a knee clean-out operation during the summer.

Scott Stamps (groin) and Dean Bennett (hamstring) will be missing though against Southend who are looking for their first league victory at Aggborough.
