ARGYLE manager Paul Sturrock has challenged Hungarian defender Krisztián Timár to force his way back into the team.

Timár, affectionately known as the Beast to the Green Army, started the first three Championship games of the season but did not make the trip to Derby last Saturday.

The two men have discussed that omission and Luggy has challenged the Magyar to prove his manager wrong.

"Krisztián is an experienced player and I did not want him to travel to a football game where I wasn't going to use him," said Luggy.

"I see no sense in that because you can tire people out, whereas Krisztián's had a rested weekend, ready for the challenge to get back in the team.

"Like any footballer, when they're not in the team, they want to know. We have had a discussion.

"It was very amicable. He is a professional man and appreciative of the challenge."
