Boro duo edge closer to return

Former Celtic midfielder Flood and Australia international Williams, who have played no part for Boro this season, are scheduled to appear for 45 minutes in a reserve-team fixture.

Flood dislocated his knee on the opening day of the season against Ipswich and Williams has been sidelined with a hip problem which also forced him to miss the World Cup finals in South Africa.
