Accrington Stanley vs Notts County - Accrington duo Josh Windass and Matt Crooks both available to face Notts County
Posted Friday, January 08, 2016 by PA
Josh Windass and Matt Crooks are both available for Accrington's Sky Bet League Two fixture with Notts County.
On Wednesday the duo signed pre-contract terms with Scottish giants Rangers to move to Ibrox in the summer, but Stanley manager John Coleman confirmed they will be considered as normal in the meantime.
Joe Wright, Brad Halliday and Liam Wakefield all extended deals with the east Lancashire club until the end of the season this week so will also stay in the reckoning.
Central defender Dean Winnard (ankle) has been absent since mid-November.
Notts County caretaker managers Mick Halsall and Richard Dryden expect to have Alan Smith available, despite the experienced midfielder holding transfer talks with League Two leaders Plymouth.
Scot Bennett will be back in the squad after returning from his loan spell at Newport. It was hoped the defender would be able to feature last weekend against Oxford but international clearance was not received in time.
Bennett will be vying for a recall to the starting line-up along with the likes of Thierry Audel, Curtis Thompson, Jimmy Spencer and Ronan Murray.
Midfielder Liam Noble will complete a four-match suspension while winger Will Hayhurst remains a long-term injury absentee.
