Oxford United manager Chris Wilder says he aims to bring his squad even closer together during their short pre-season tour of Scotland.

The Blue Square Premier side are training at Doncaster before a game at Morton on Saturday and a behind-closed-doors match at Rangers next Tuesday.

"It was set up for the players to have contact with each other," Wilder told BBC Oxford.

"They are going to be together for the next nine months."

He added: "It will be good for me to find out a lot about the players as well. There are lot of players we know about and a lot we don't know about."

BBC Oxford 95.2 FM will have full match commentary on Morton v Oxford United at 1500 BST.
