In other news today, Russell Slade has confirmed his interest in former Scottish international striker Gary McSwegan but denies any offer has been made.

Slade told the Grimsby Telegraph; "Gary is a player I worked with at Notts County and he is certainly one on the long list of players I am interested in but there is definitely no truth in reports I have offered him a deal - I don't know where that has come from."
