Luke Varney
Luke Varney returns after successful loan spell with Sheffield Wednesday to regain match fitness and goes straight into the Rams squad for Tuesday's game against Reading 
Nigel Clough has reiterated that Luke Varney will go straight into his side to face Reading at Pride Park tomorrow night.

Varney has been on a succesful months loan with Sheffield Wednesday and signed off from the club by scoring both goals in the Owls 2-0 win over relegation haunted Southampton.

Clough has stated that he had intended to put Luke into the squad for Tuesday nights game before his brace against the Saints and feels that the month on loan following injury and illness will have sharpened up the talents of Varney.

The Rams still need a point from their remaining three games to be certain of Championship football next season and with Reading struggling to find their early season form Derby hope to seal that point on Tuesday night.
