Squad for Derby - Ipswich Town News

Marcus Stewart is set for a return on Saturday at Pride Park. The Town striker is over his thigh problem and is included in the squad for the game that could possibly take Town into the Champions' League.

Mark Burchill is included, probably for the last time. The striker seems destined to return to Celtic as soon as the season ends after his three month loan spell. Despite scoring one goal he has failed to really make an impression in his time at the club.

Mike Salmon, fresh from signing a new one-year deal, will be on the bench as Keith Branagan is still recovering from his hernia operation. Richard Wright will go in for his op next week.

Squad: R Wright, Salmon, Makin, Wilnis, Clapham, Hreidarsson, Venus, McGreal, Bramble, Holland, Magilton, J Wright, Reuser, Scowcroft, Stewart, Armstrong, Naylor, Burchill, Croft.
