Graham Coughlan and Grant Holt could make their Shrewsbury debuts in the opening-day clash with Macclesfield on Saturday afternoon.Veteran defender Coughlan who signed from Rotherham last week and former Nottingham Forest striker Holt are set to go straight into the side that will face Keith Alexander's men.

Manager Paul Simpson, who has a fully-fit squad to choose from, has plenty of attacking options, with record-signing Holt expected to start alongside last season's top scorer Dave Hibbert.

Midfielder Chris Humphreys is set to return following a knee injury sustained in the pre-season game at Stafford.
