Ipswich need just a point to guarantee promotion when they host Huddersfield, who are already practically relegated, on Saturday.

“It’s a great night to enjoy in front of the supporters. We know the significance of tonight will not be determined until Saturday.
“To be on 93 points with a game to go is an incredible tally and credit to the boys.
“I never thought this could unfold so quickly. I came here because of the ambition of the club. The journey has accelerated, I have to say.”
McKenna’s men had not won in their previous four games as they failed to take full advantage of Leeds’ faltering form at the business end of the season.
