Hull City AFC v Cardiff - Team news...

For some reason, Andy Crosby and Fikayo Tomori are doing the presser today.

"Injury-wise, we've gained one more body since last week. Dio is back on the training pitch so we've got 25 players on the training pitch this morning. Saturday may come too soon for him, but we'll have to wait and see."

"Young Dan Batty has impressed all of us - he will get an opportunity at some stage. When that opportunity comes, I'm sure he'll be ready to take it."

"He's learning from the likes of Seb and Markus - international footballers. He sees how they conduct themselves on a daily basis and that can only be beneficial for him and his development."

"We've got two games left and we want to finish the season strongly. It should be a good game against Cardiff on Saturday and we know we'll have to be a 100 per cent at it in order to get a result."

"To be honest - myself and Nigel don't want the season to end. Having missed the first half of the campaign, we're probably the freshest two people at the Club."

"The lads have been fantastic since we came in, especially the senior players, and a club is only as good as your senior players."

"Contrary to reports, Allan McGregor wasn’t at Rangers yesterday and he hasn’t agreed terms with Rangers - he was here yesterday! The manager had a private conversation with him this morning and nothing happened with Rangers."

"All we can do is say to Allan is say we want him to be part of it next year. This Club is lucky to have two quality goalkeepers. The private conversations with the manger and the Club will hopefully come to the conclusion that he is here next year."

"Cardiff have had a fantastic season. They’ve got the players in for what Neil wants to do and I would think they need to win two games to get that second spot. They are strong at what they do and will provide a real test for us."

Tomori up next...

"It was mixed emotions after last Saturday's game - scoring five goals away from home and still not winning the game - but obviously we were happy once we realised we'd confirmed the Club's Championship status with the result."

"I've enjoyed my time here to-date. I’ve played a lot of games, I’ve learned a lot, playing against different teams. I’ve learned a lot about the game itself, especially the physical side of the game."

"It's a bit of shock that there are only two games left in the season now. It's a bit weird but, as I say, I've learnt a lot. Who knows the future holds for me after this season. I'm open to offers and I'll just have to see what happens."

The end (not sure it was worth Fikayo turning up).

Allan McGregor wasn’t in Glasgow yesterday having a medical as reports north of the border suggested. He was in Hull. #hcafc saying not given up hope of keeping him.
