One to watch
Central midfielder Liam Kelly will be the one to watch for John Sheridan’s side come 3pm on Saturday afternoon.
The 26-year-old Milton Keynes native started his career at the MK Dons, leaving the club’s academy in 2008.
A move north of the border for Kelly materialised a year after his departure from the Buckinghamshire side, when Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock acquired his services.
The prolonged spell at Rugby Park proved to be a positive learning curve for the player, who made 100 appearances during the four-year stay at Killie.
A highlight of his time at Kilmarnock was achieving a Scottish League Cup winners’ medal in the 2011/12 season.
In January 2013, Kelly swapped Scotland for the South West of England, with Bristol City confirming his signing on an undisclosed fee.
Kelly’s time at Ashton Gate was overshadowed by a cruciate ligament injury that he sustained in the pre-season after his arrival.
In 18 months at the Robins, he appeared 21 times, before signing for Oldham Athletic in July 2014, as part of a player exchange deal for Korey Smith.
Since his move to Boundary Park, the one-time Scotland international has made 73 appearances, netting six times. Kelly is also the club captain at the Latics.
This term, he has made 39 appearances, and leads the way in the Oldham goal scoring charts with the five goals to his name.
