Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are in Wrexham for club's biggest game in years

Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have arrived at the Racecourse Ground ahead of what is surely the biggest game of their tenure so far.

The Dragons take on promotion rivals Notts County on Monday afternoon (3pm kick-off), with the Magpies currently leading the north Wales side at the top of the table by virtue of goal difference, with both teams locked on 100 points.

Wrexham, sitting in second place, do have the luxury of a game in hand on their rivals, but defeat would unquestionably be a significant blow to their hopes of ending their 15-year exile from the EFL.

Ahead of the game, co-owner Reynolds said on Instagram: "A big few weeks ahead for Wrexham FC. Nervy as hell."

Both Reynolds and McElhenney will be cheering on the team at a packed out Racecourse Ground, with Wrexham hoping to bounce back from what was a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Halifax last time out.

"We are not pleased that we lost on Friday with the amazing support we had," said boss Phil Parkinson after the game. "The lads aren't used to losing and they were a bit stunned in the changing room because they know we didn't deserve anything in the second period.

"Friday was a reminder for us that there is no divine right to turn up to win, you have to be strong as a team and you have to be resilient because in any game, the opposition are going to have chances and be on top."
