Boss Jim Magilton has named Icelandic trialist Indridi Sigurdsson in the starting line-up for tonight's opening pre-season tour game at Willem II (KO 7.30pm local time). French trialist Alexis Bertin is also in Magilton's side.

Sigurdsson will start on the left of defence with Richard Naylor and new skipper Jason De Vos filling their usual centre-half roles, and Fabian Wilnis on the right. Shane Supple is between the sticks.
