Loan Celt Mark Millar will make his debut for Ujpest Dozsa against Papa this afternoon.
Ujpest received international clearance during the week for the midfielder who played in a friendly match on Tuesday.
With the temperature in Budapest touching 34 degrees this afternoon it’s unlikely that Millar will last the full 90 minutes.
A win at home today would maintain Ujpest’s unbeaten start to the season and lift them into third place behind joint leaders Ferencvaros and Honved who have both won all four league games.
Ujpest had to play their previous home match behind closed doors but manager Willie McStay is looking forward to having some vocal backing at today’s game.
The former Celtic reserve coach said: “Thankfully we will be playing the game against Papa in front of the fans. They showed just how special an atmosphere they can create in the home leg against Steaua.
“They also followed us in good numbers to Gy?r, on the opening day of the season, and proved a massive help to us. The players will get an added bit of confidence when they play in front of our fans, who will help to bring out the maximum in the game.”
The game kicks off at 4.30pm BST.
We're looking forward to seeing Mark get a bit of first team action. Good luck to him today!
Not such a good day for Mark or Ujpest, a 3-0 home defeat with Mark lasting an hour, I'm sure that there will be better days.
Whats WMS take on the politics of the Ujpest support?
