“We’re prepared for the game. We’re already in Katsina. It’s a Northern Derby – the biggest derby game here in the North – and we’re prepared,” Mangut said.
“It’s a case of ‘no retreat, no surrender.’ We have our objective going into the game, which is the maximum three points, and I’ve drummed that into the players’ ears.
“They are aware of our mission here in Katsina, so there’s no excuse if we don’t deliver.”
Mangut admitted that Plateau United will miss some key players due to injury but declined to reveal their names.
