Dutch wing-back Fabian Wilnis says he feels no antipathy towards former boss George Burley despite being ostracised in the latter stages of the interim Derby County manager's time at Portman Road.

Wilnis, 32, reacted angrily to being substituted in the first half of the UEFA Cup game in Helsingborg in November 2001 and afterwards was rarely considered by Burley.

However, the former De Graafschap man says he holds no grudge ahead of Sunday's visit to Derby to face Burley's new side: "Everyone knows that my relationship with George did not end on the best terms.

"But that's all in the past now and I wish him the best of luck at Derby.

"I don't have any bad feelings towards George and I don't have anything to prove this weekend."

Wilnis is likely to sign a new deal at Portman Road over the summer when his current contract ends.
