Wrexham are looking to get one over on Stockport after Dave Challinor's side denied them the League Two title by beating Notts County. 


The Red Dragons had a slim chance of finishing the season as champions, had Stockport slipped up in their final games. 

However, a 5-2 victory over Notts County saw them take the title and go seven points clear of both Mansfield and Wrexham with just two games remaining.

The news came as a blow to Wrexham - who had already secured back-to-back promotions under McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.

Nevertheless, McElhenney was in good spirits as he arrived at the club on Saturday afternoon for Wrexham's game with Stockport. 

He was seen signing autographs and posing for photos with fans before making his way into the stadium for the game. 

During the game, McElhenney celebrated Ollie Palmer's equaliser after Connor Lemonheigh-Evans opened the scoring in the 29th minute for the visistors.  

McElhenney also appeared to in good spirits after it had been revealed that two new Welsh trains has been named after his and Reynold's home cities. 

The trains - The Vancouver Red Dragon and Philadelphia Robin - were created to honour the "positive work" and impact the owners have had in the area. 

The trains were unveiled by Welsh First Minister Vaughan Gething and Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales Ken Skates. 

Gething said it was 'great... to see two of the latest additions to Transport for Wales's stock, part of our £800m investment to improve trains' reliability and comfort. There's a real buzz about Wrexham these days.'

He added: 'Rob and Ryan have put an incredible amount into the community and it's fantastic that their contribution is being recognised with the new trains, which I'm sure every Wrexham fan will want to travel on whenever they can.'

Skates said: 'Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have opened a window to the world on Wrexham, its fantastic football club and the wider region. I'm delighted that we're recognising this by naming two of our brand new, made-in-Wales trains in their honour.'

James Price, Transport for Wales chief executive, said: 'We're in the process of introducing brand-new trains across our Wales and Borders network... We're proud to name our new trains after the home cities of Ryan and Rob.'
