League One rival makes Shrewsbury Town play-off prediction

Jack Grimmer is backing his former club Shrewsbury Town for a play-off push in the up-and-coming season, following the club’s impressive transfer window so far.

“The expectation from me Is for Shrewsbury to be pushing the play-offs because you don’t sign those calibre of players if you’re not pushing for the play-offs, at least.

“I’d be surprised if teams this season get many easy games against Shrewsbury.”
