ROVERS skipper Charlie Mulgrew will go for a scan on Monday on the ankle injury he picked up in the home draw with Northampton Town.

Mulgrew was forced off after 15 minutes with Rovers 1-0 down after falling awkwardly on his ankle.

He will undergo a scan on the injury to determine how long it is likely to sideline him for.

His injury presented Amari'i Bell with the chance to make his Rovers debut and he impressed at left-back with Derrick Williams moving inside to partner Paul Downing in central defence.

Of the injury to his skipper, boss Tony Mowbray said: “Let’s wait and see, he’ll have a scan.

“This is why you have a squad, why Amari'i Bell was brought in to the football club.

“Derrick Williams has shown me, he started his career as a centre half and has a fantastic leap, he's probably more competitive in the air than Charlie, so let’s wait and see.

“I don’t sit here worrying about it, I sit here thinking that Derrick can cope with it and Amari’i can be an attacking threat in games that we’re trying to win.

“Yet we saw how athletic he is when people are trying to take him on and cross.”

Rovers pressed for a winner after Danny Graham's equaliser 16 minuntes from time but it wasn't to be as they dropped to third in the table and out of the automatic promotion spots.

But Mowbray said: “I thought the fans could feel the urgency and the need, they encouraged the team with fantastic vocal support and we’ll to try and keep that up in the remaining nine home games and we can stay right in there.

“It’s a disappointing result for us and a great win for Shrewsbury on the back of the pressure they would have been feeling.

“It will probably go to the wire, they don’t look like they will go away and we have to make sure we keep the performance level high and that will be enough to win lots of games.”
