Blackburn Rovers vs Boro - Live match updates from Ewood Park (Teesside Live)

Live match updates from Ewood Park as Middlesbrough take on Blackburn Rovers in the Championship.

Blackurn work it well to Gallagher in the box and he looks to fire across the box for Diaz but Steffen manages to grab it. Boro recycle possession after that Forss chance and it's worked out to the Finn on the right. He raced in behind from a long ball over the top but never looked confident running through. Forss protects the ball well and it eventually falls for Hackney who has a pop from 25 yards. Boro want an offside flag but it doesn't come. Akpom controls well and gives it Crooks who's peeled off to the right. He spots Forss inside run and plays a lovely chip through to him. Blackburn's diagonal balls have troubled Boro & it was an early one that got Hedges in for early goal. Straight red for the Blackburn man. Blackburn down to ten but still carry a threat. They come into the game looking to build on an emphatic Boxing Day win over Wigan Athletic. Not much to write about as Boro just effectively look to keep possession and manage this one to take three points.

Live updates, post-match reaction and analysis as Blackburn Rovers host Middlesbrough in the Championship.

Pressing well and looking a completely different side in attack from Sunderland. Shot out of frustration from Middlesbrough which almost brought a leveller. With everyone in blue and white incensed, it was with typical irony that McGree then volleyed the visitors ahead to complete a remarkable 10-minute turnaround. Gallagher - 7 Dack - 7 Marcus Forss drilled the ball past Thomas Kaminski and kickstarted a bonkers 10-minute spell which saw Rovers fall apart. Hedges - 7 Morton - 7 Jon Dahl Tomasson's side had led at the break thanks to Ryan Hedges' second goal of the season. Ayala - 7 Minutes later, they were down to ten as Buckley was dismissed. Rankin-Costello - 7

Matt Crooks and Riley McGree come into the side, replacing Isaiah Jones and Duncan Watmore. It's a first start for Crooks since Carrick took charge.

Or perhaps Crooks will join Marcuss Forss and Chuba Akpom in a front three. It's a first start for Crooks since Carrick took charge. It could mean a more narrow midfield three including Crooks, with Howson sitting slightly deeper.

Blackburn Rovers vs Middlesbrough betting tips: Championship ... (101 Great Goals)

Our recommended bet for Thursday's clash at Ewood Park comes in the form of a Middlesbrough victory over Blackburn Rovers, featuring goals from both teams.

Middlesbrough, in turn, have climbed to the heights of mid-table in the Championship, in the knowledge that a sixth win from eight could, remarkably, see them soar into the thick of the promotion playoff picture. Hopeful of condemning the day’s hosts to a fifth defeat in six, though, will be a Middlesbrough outfit in the midst of an altogether more fruitful stretch of results. Should Blackburn, in turn, emerge without at least a share of the spoils this Thursday evening, then they will be in real danger of being dragged back into the mire of the top-six battle.

Why John Buckley was sent off in bizarre circumstances during ... (Accrington Observer)

Blackburn Rovers will be without John Buckley for the next three Championship matches after he was sent off in bizarre fashion against Middlesbrough.

If that is the case, Buckley could miss three matches which would be the games against Cardiff City, Norwich City (FA Cup) and Rotherham United. To rub salt in the wounds, McGree then volleyed Middlesbrough ahead and from 1-0 up, Rovers found themselves 2-1 down and with a man light, only 10 minutes after the restart. It transpired that Buckley had bounced the ball off the head of Riley McGree after the initial foul.
