    Hull v Derby preview: Allan McGregor injury doubt for Tigers

    Hull manager Steve Bruce says goalkeeper Allan McGregor is rated at less than 50/50 to make their Sky Bet Championship play-off semi-final second leg with Derby.

    McGregor missed Saturday's first leg due to a back injury so Eldin Jakupovic is on standby to deputise, just as he did in the 3-0 success at the iPro Stadium.

    That is Bruce's only fresh selection concern as his side aim to complete the job and book their place in the Wembley final.

    Nick Powell (thigh) remains a long-term absentee.

    Derby head coach Darren Wassall has the same players available.

    Andreas Weimann was left out of the squad at the weekend but with the Rams needing goals the former Aston Villa forward could find himself back in the frame on Tuesday night.

    Midfielder George Thorne is Wassall's only absentee after suffering a double leg break on the final day of the regular season.

    The likes of Chris Baird, Jeff Hendrick, Jacob Butterfield, Nick Blackman and Darren Bent, together with Weimann, are options for Derby, who are the only side to defeat Hull on home soil this campaign in the league - although even a repeat of that 2-0 victory in November would not be enough.

    Ian Holloway's prediction

    Hull were magnificent on Saturday. They performed in a way I expected them to do all season. I expect them to see the job through very easily on Tuesday.

    Ian Holloway didn't hold back on Monday night as he criticised Derby's first-leg display against Hull

    What happens at that Derby group? Those players have got to grow some. They lack character. You have to have the will do achieve something, not just the skill. It doesn't really matter who the manager is at Derby, whether it's Harry Redknapp and Darren Wassall, there's a massive character flaw within that squad.

    The crowd went quiet. The team went quiet and they went out with a total whimper. No-one takes responsibility. Derby need to have a complete rebuild - there is something wrong at the club.

    Highlights of Hull's 3-0 win at Derby in the first leg

    The whole group needs to be looked at and questions need to be asked. Compare it to Middlesbrough, where questions were brought up by their manager, he smashed them into place and they achieved their goal.

    Derby head coach Darren Wassall says his side have a mountain to climb in the second leg

    Derby have found the back of the net in seven of their last eight league visits to Hull.

    Hull have lost just one of their last 24 home league games (W15 D8), though the side who beat them was Derby in November 2015.

    Steve Bruce says Derby's limited attacking play was testament to Hull in their 3-0 win at the iPro Stadium

    Derby have won just three of their last 12 away league games (D4 L5), keeping only one clean sheet in that time.

    The Tigers have won five of their six play-off matches, winning each of the four they've contested in the second tier (three in 2008, 3-0 v Derby in the first leg).

    Hull were the only top six Championship side that the Rams defeated away from home in 2015/16, drawing two and losing two of four other games.

    Hull striker Abel Hernandez has scored in each of his last four games.
