MICHAEL COLLINS is hoping to make his Scunthorpe United bow at Brigg Town tomorrow after missing Saturday’s clash with Bottesford Town because of infected blisters.

The 24-year-old former Huddersfield Town midfielder signed for the Championship club last week, and was frustrated by his setback.

“I’ve had a couple of infected blisters, which have affected the glands in my groin. I’ve been sore, but it’s nothing major,” he explained.

“It’s just annoying because I want to play in every game possible, get myself 100% fit and show people how good I am.”

Collins links up with fellow former Town player David Mirfin at Glanford Park.

“I’m close to Mirf, but he’s left me to my own devices so I strike up relationships with other people,” said Collins.

Scunthorpe were 4-0 winners at Bottesford, who are Koolsport Northern Counties East League First Division rivals of AFC Emley.
