Bahrudin Atajic in contention for Shrewsbury Town's match against Notts County

Mike Jackson insists that striker Bahrudin Atajic is in contention for tomorrow's trip to Notts County.

The Celtic loanee has been involved in three of the club's four matches since joining until the end of the campaign in January.

Jackson has stated that, as with many loan players, Atajic needs his fitness topping up after seeing his first-team opportunities limited to three games at Celtic this season.

And Atajic has been working double sessions this week to get himself in the best possible shape.

But boss Jackson feels some media reports have exaggerated the player's condition. He said: "What I have said is he needs topping up on his fitness. I have said that about loans that come into the club.

"But he's working hard, he's in contention for tomorrow and we are doing as much as we can to get him fit and that goes for every loan player."

Meanwhile, Jackson confirmed that a decision on the loan of Wigan Athletic midfielder Fraser Fyvie will be made following Saturday's game.

Fyvie's initial month's loan expires after the Notts County clash and Jackson said: "He will be available for this weekend and then well have a discussion.

"It's on-going and we will make a decision after the game."
