Kenny Jackett has moved swiftly to strengthen his depleted first team squad ahead of tomorrow's FA Cup tie against Altrincham by signing Queen's Park Rangers defender Marcus Bignot on an emergency one-month loan.

Bignot becomes the sixth loan player currently in The Lions squad and goes straight into the side to face The Robins.

"We have brought Marcus in because three of our experienced defenders are now injured," explained new boss Jackett. "Danny Senda, Richard Shaw and Andy Frampton will all miss Saturday's game at Altrincham and consequently I needed to get an experienced player in to bolster the defence."
