Mariners boss Nicky Law is hoping to keep the Reds on-loan striker Isaiah Rankin at Blundell Park to the end of the season.

Rankin, who missed Wednesday's defeat at Swindon through injury but Law told the Grimsby Town official website: "His loan is up on 20 March, so if he is fit, we need to be extending his loan until the end of the season.

"Even if he is a week, two weeks away, he will be a vital player. Hopefully he will return to training next week."
