VINCE Grella has failed a late fitness test for this afternoon's Premier League visit of Tottenham Hotspur.

The Australian midfielder was expected to start in the centre of the midfield but has been withdrawn today due to his groin injury.

Aaron Mokoena therefore continues in the middle alongside Stephen Warnock, while Keith Andrews replaces Andre Ooijer at right back.

David Dunn takes his place on the substitutes bench, despite an Achilles injury, while Roque Santa Cruz's knee injury keeps him out of the squad.

Spurs have gone six games without defeat in the Premier League but Rovers know a home victory could send them to 12th in the table and pile the pressure on their relegation rivals.
