....but it's not Rory McArdle
But he will have to make do with a place on the bench and hope to be brought on if he is to become Dale's fourth ever international - he still remains a Dale player until the end of June when his transfer to Aberdeen goes through.
The Rory who is making his international debut is Rory Patterson, who had a brief spell with Dale making a handful of appearances in the early part of the last decade.
Since leaving Dale, Patterson had a period with FCUM before returning to Northern Ireland, with his current side Coleraine.
Dale's previous internationals are Patrick McCourt, Lee McEvilly and Leo Bertos.
