Paul Ince's first game as Blackburn boss will be at his old club Macclesfield.

Ince's current charges visit Moss Rose on Monday, July 14 at the start of a packed pre-season programme.

Rovers also visit Austria before a trip to Portugal where they will tackle Benfica and Sporting Lisbon on July 25 and 26 respectively.

Ince will visit another of his old stamping grounds, Molineux, for an August 2 date with Wolves before Blackburn complete preparations at Ewood Park against NAC Breda the following Saturday.
