Mansfield caretaker boss Paul Holland will hand debuts to Neil Wainwright and Kevin Horlock for their home game against Grimsby.The duo arrived on loan from Darlington and Scunthorpe respectively for the remainder of the season on Friday morning and go straight into the squad.

Veteran goalkeeper Carl Muggleton is available after the 39-year-old missed the victory at Bradford after suffering a groin injury in the first-half of the Stags' home defeat to Hereford 10 days ago.

Muggleton may have to settle for a place on the bench on his return to the squad though after youngster Jason White, who is 17 years his junior, impressed in his first league start since August at Valley Parade.

Defender Martin McIntosh is not expected to play again this season, having been sidelined since the turn of the year with a troublesome calf complaint.

Mansfield are close to appointing a new manager following Billy Dearden's departure earlier this month after chief executive Stephen Booth said he expected Holland to remain in charge for this game and Easter Monday's trip to Bury, after which a permanent appointment will be announced.
