OLDHAM'S Michael Clegg is out of tonight's game against Premiership outfit Blackburn Rovers at Boundary Park.

The former Manchester United defender suffered a back spasm during warm-up before Saturday's 1-1 daw at neighbours Rochdale.

Midfield ace Paul Murray, who missed the trip to Spotland with a foot injury, is again doubtful.

Oldham boss Iain Dowie is still planning to put out a strong side while Rovers chief Graeme Souness has promised to include several first-teamers.

The Lancashire club have waived any rights to fees and the cash-strapped Latics will bank all the gate receipts via Trust Oldham, the newly-formed supporters arm at Boundary Park. Tweet
