Big Rangers rematch for Matt Elliott

Stafford Rangers boss Matt Elliott believes the game against Hyde is more important than the reverse fixture in January that led to Tim Flowers' resigning as manager.

A 1-0 defeat at the Tigers was the last straw for Flowers, who walked out on the club, with his assistant Elliott taking caretaker and then permanent charge.

The two teams now meet again at Marston Road with the stakes high, as Hyde hover above Rangers outside the relegation places but Elliott's men could pull level on points with a win.

It's a relegation dogfight and Elliott will again be without key players for the game with Andre Francis, Ashley Wooliscroft and Mark Dudley not yet fit to return.
