Influential centre-back Andy Dawson is poised to return for Ramsbottom for their clash at East Lancashire rivals Nelson tomorrow – and boss Andy Feeley is delighted to have the defender back.

Feeley believes the Rams - who have lost five of their last six games – have sorely missed the defender, who has been out with a groin problem.

“Andy’s a massive influence to us,” he said. “We’ve been conceding too many sloppy goals and, hopefully, his presence will wake us up.”
