George Burley has promised that his players will do a lap of honour at the end of Monday's game - if fans stay off the pitch. The Blues boss was looking forward to Monday's game which sees Marcus Stewart as a big doubt.

James Scowcroft, who has restarted training, is also highly doubtfu; for Monday.

Burley said of the season: "It's been a tremendous season for the fans, who have really enjoyed life in the Premiership, and it would be great to sign off on a winning note. It's important we win our last two games to keep the pressure on Leeds and Liverpool."

The Town boss added that Richard Wright may play in the Derby game contrary to earlier reports. It had been thought that the Town keeper would enter hospital after the Manchester City game for a hernia operation. Burley also said that talks are continuing with Richard and Jermaine Wright over new contracts.
