Paul Cook’s Wigan are now just one point off leaders Shrewsbury in League One following their 3-0 defeat of Doncaster last night.
Shrewsbury lost 1-0 away to Bury.
Wigan remain four points clear of third-placed Scunthorpe, who beat Bradford City 2-1 last night, but have a game extra played.
Cook managed Sligo Rovers from 2007 to 2012 and still has close ties to the northwest.
