LAURENCE Maguire has been reunited with Scott Lindsey at MK Dons - and believes his old boss is the right man to propel them into the League Two promotion shake-up.

LINDSEY LINK-UP LIFTS LAURENCE!

The 27-year-old centre back was part of Lindsey's Crawley Town team that battered MK 8-1 on aggregate in last season's play-off semi-final before going on to win promotion at Wembley against Crewe.

That success has been described as a "massive over-achievement" by Maguire with the Red Devils having been tipped for relegation at the start of the campaign.

Subsequently, the younger brother of Manchester United and England defender Harry opted to move to the Dons over the summer.

Decision

Lindsey made the same decision when he was approached after Mike Williamson moved on to Carlisle with the club having lost six of their opening eight 2024-25 fixtures in all competitions.

Under former Swindon boss Lindsey, MK drew their first game 1-1 at Bromley before registering their first away win since April on Tuesday with a devastating 5-1 hammering of Harrogate.
