Town manager Jim Magilton is looking forward to Town's friendly against Panathinaikos on Saturday.

Jim: "Panathinaikos are just the sort of opposition we are looking for at this stage of pre-season, they are a club recognised around Europe, have a tremendous history in the game, played Champions' League football and with all due respect to our other pre-season opponents, will provide a step up in class.

"Like all good European teams, I'm sure they will keep the ball well so we will have to be patient, switched on defensively as a unit and when we have possession, make good use of the ball ourselves.

"I'm sure it will a good test for us against a top class side."
