Trollope was happy with their 3-1 win at Morton

Bristol Rovers manager Paul Trollope says his side's Scottish tour has given him the chance to experiment with formations and playing roles.

"We're trying to progress the club with a younger group of players," Trollope told BBC Radio Bristol.

"We're taking a look at lots of different people in different positions and different systems."

Keeper Luke Daniels, a loan signing from West Brom, will join the club for Tuesday's friendly at Partick Thistle.

Trollope revealed he had been "very pleased" with the club's progress so far, particularly their 3-1 win at Morton on Saturday.

"We had spells in the first half where I thought we were excellent," he commented.

He added that the aerial dominance of new centre-back James Tunnicliffe had also impressed.

Rovers' pre-season will conclude with home games against Premier League sides West Brom and Stoke, with a friendly at Cheltenham in between the two.

Trollope told the BBC he was hopeful of making at least one more signing, but added that "nothing is imminent".
