Thompson in, Cole out

Andy Cole, who forfeited his hamstring to put Rovers 2-0 up against City on Sunday, will miss the home tie against Bulgarians CSKA Sofia in the UEFA Cup.

Slightly better news is that David Thompson will play.

The victim of Danny Tiatto’s horror tackle, in the same game, was complaining of a sore knee and boss Souness was doubtful over whether he’d get a run out.

But the physio has been working overtime and Rovers have now confirmed that Thompson is Ok.
