Could MK Dons be a part of the promotion fight in League One?

An expected big summer of spending could catapult MK Dons into the League One promotion race according to Robert Snodgrass.

Securing their spot in the third tier, Dons have been tipped pretty kindly by bookmakers to be in and amongst the fight at the sharper end of the table on their first campaign back in the division since 2023.

The club have stated big ambitions for the season, with both boss Paul Warne and chief executive Neil Hart noting a busy summer of transfers ahead as Dons set their sights on a top-six fight.

While the competition in the division looks to be fierce this season with the likes of Leicester City, Sheffield Wednesday and Bolton Wanderers all keen on getting back to the Championship again, former Leeds, West Brom and Luton midfielder Snodgrass believes Dons could be right in the thick of it too.

Anticipating owner Fahad Al Ghanim to call on his big backing to help the club take a running start in League One, Snograss, speaking to talkSPORT BET Sportsbook, believes Dons can emulate Wrexham’s approach and does not rule them out of the hunt to go up again.

“MK Dons have that momentum from getting promoted last season,” he said. “They will want to get themselves up there again and push forward.

“With that type of manager in Paul Warne, he is all in. You see his connection with the fans, and I believe they will try to sign big again. They have a very wealthy owner.

“I believe they will be right up there and have a real go at bringing in some big signings. I fully expect them to kick on and mount a challenge, similar to the way Wrexham used their momentum.

“It will be a big challenge for them, but they are very well prepared with the backing from the owners.”
