Bury manager Alan Knill is boosted with the news that both Darren Randolph and David Buchanan are available for selection against Mansfield.The pair had been due miss the clash with the Stags because of international call-ups, but Knill successfully negotiated a later release for the duo.

But the Shakers will be without the services of defenders Dave Challinor and Paul Morgan, who miss out with knee and ulcer problems respectively.

Bury are still looking to secure their League Two status, but will be buoyed by the fact they have won three of their last five League outings.

Knill told the club's website: "It took a bit of begging to keep the two international players here, but we got there in the end.

"We won't be underestimating Mansfield and I don't think you can read too much into their league position."
