SCARBOROUGH and Morecambe replay tonight in the fifth round of the FA Trophy after the 1-1 draw on Saturday. The winners will visit either Margate or Braintree in the last eight of the competition.
After Scarborough's last-gasp penalty equaliser on Saturday, manager Russ Slade is keeping his selection cards close to his chest.
"I have one or two things in mind, but will not reveal my side until just before the kick-off, although I can say that Shaun Rennison will be back in the squad."
Rennison has missed the last two games through suspension, but the man who replaced him, former Middlesbrough defender Steve Baker, has acquitted himself well.
Slade may well decide to strengthen his midfield with the introduction of former York City playmaker Scott Jordan, as Morecambe were strong in this area, with goal-scorer Adriano Rigoglioso outstanding.
The two teams play each other for the third time next Saturday in a crucial league game and when quizzed as to which game was more important, Slade said: "Obviously I am setting my stall out to win this cup tie, but if I can only have one win then the league is our priority."
Scarborough: Woods, Baker, Shepherd, Hotte, Blunt, Salt, Stoker, Pounder, Rose, Stamp, Sugden, Shannon, Jordan, Connell, Faure, Rennison.
Trophy quarter-final draw: Margate or Braintree Town v Scarborough or Morecambe; Northwich Victoria or telford United v Yeovil Town or Canvey Island; Stevenage Borough v Stalybridge Celtic; Burton Albion v Chester City. Ties to be played March 16.
