Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish feels Nikola Zigic is beginning to justify his price-tag.

He scored the opening goal against Manchester City and is showing more aggression and posing a greater threat.

McLeish said: "The good thing is he is getting in there and causing a lot of problems like he did against City.

"He is looking much more aggressive for us and what a difference that has made to the team. He is making a big contribution now."
