Stockport have on-loan midfielders Stephen Gleeson and Ryan Lowe available for their clash against Chester on Saturday.

Republic of Ireland international Gleeson (pictured during a loan spell with Hereford), who previously made 14 starts while on loan with County last season, joins following a month-long loan stay with promotion rivals Hereford, where he made four appearances.

Stockport have also signed Crewe midfielder Lowe for the remainder of the campaign and he could feature against his former club.

However, skipper Ashley Williams has joined Swansea on loan with a view to a permanent move.

County are again likely to be without Matty McNeil and Jim McNulty.

McNeil is still recovering from an operation on his lateral ligament, while defender McNulty is closing in on a return following a persistent ankle problem.
