Rangers wingers on standby

Wingers Levi Reid and Fabrice Kasiama could make their Stafford Rangers returns on Tuesday against Evo-Stik NPL Premier Division strugglers Ilkeston, reports ThisisStaffordshire.

The pair took part in last week's friendly at Eccleshall with Reid making the bench in the weekend's 2-1 defeat at Frickley Athletic.

The former Port Vale midfielder has had two previous spells with Rangers, but finished last season at Conference North Gainsborough Trinity.

"Levi is pushing for a place in the starting line-up," manager Greg Clowes told the Staffordshire Sentinel's website.

"Fabrice will also be in the squad along with three members of the u17s – Billy Thorley, Alex Curtis and Josh Renshaw."

The young trio impressed during the Eccleshall match and Clowes says he could name at least one on the bench.

"It depends on what I have available," the Stafford boss added. "Jon Sheldon picked up a bit of a knock on Saturday so we will have to wait and see."

Defender Karl Espley and midfielder Michael Carr are suspended for the Ilkeston match and Clowes will also be without the injured quintet of Luke George, Ryan Brown, Christian Dacres, Sean Kinsella and Danny Reid.
