MK Dons boss Paul Warne urges his side to finish the job in front of their own supporters as they look to secure automatic promotion from League Two.

MK Dons boss Paul Warne has urged his side to finish the job in front of their own supporters as they look to secure automatic promotion from League Two. Warne's side needs a maximum of two points from their two remaining games to join Bromley in League One next season, but in reality, one point may be good enough because of their superior goal difference. The former Rotherham and Derby manager is still hoping they can overtake Bromley, who have a two-point advantage, and win the first title of his career.

"I would like to go for the title. In all the promotions I've had, I think I've had about eight as a player or a manager; I've never had a title. That's what we set out to do, and we've given ourselves a good chance, haven't we?

" he told BBC Three Counties Radio. "There's no easy games late on in the season, and this season shows it's no different. "Hopefully we can get a win at home, and then we've done it - that would be pretty fitting if we could get promotion at home next week, but there's a long way to go between now and then.

" They will face Tranmere Rovers at Stadium: MK on Saturday before travelling to Fleetwood Town on 2 May for their final game of the campaign. "No-one wants to see a nil-nil, then [in the] last minute Tranmere get a corner; I don't think my little heart could take it. I'm hoping for a strong performance, and we'll go out and try and win it as we always do," he said.
