Ricketts and Rocastle offered chance
Aberdeen, 12:31, August 7, 2009 ,
Rohan Ricketts and Craig Rocastle will get the chance to impress manager Mark McGhee in Sunday's Dean Windass testimonial at Hull.
McGhee is desperate to beef up his paper-thin squad in the wake of the 3-0 Europa League third-qualifying-round second-leg loss at Sigma Olomouc on Thursday and wants new faces in before next weekend's Clydesdale Bank Premier League opener against Celtic.
Former Tottenham and Wolves forward Ricketts spent last season in the MLS with Toronto but is now back in the UK and Rocastle, who made 13 appearances on loan at Hibs in 2004, spent last term with Greek side Thrasivoulos Filis.
McGhee said: "We are getting closer. We will have a look at these two players on Sunday.
"The two of them have been around the English leagues and have experience.
"Ricketts has been playing with Toronto. He is a lively forward and, while some have questioned his workrate, he has ability.
"Everyone knows Craig from his Hibs days, where he did quite well."
