Birmingham striker Jerome: Eck pick me, I am Gers mad!

Birmingham City striker Cameron Jerome is happy playing for Alex McLeish - because he's Rangers mad!

Jerome hopes once his gaffer discovers the soft spot for his old club, it will convince him to unleash the striker against Arsenal on Sunday at Wembley.

He said: "I'd always been aware of the boss through his work with Rangers and Scotland.

"Rangers is my favourite Scottish club, so I was delighted when he came here.

"I've a favourite team in every league and Rangers were the ones I liked, probably because they were winning all the time.

"He did really well there and enjoyed great success with them. He had a great record with Scotland, so the big thing he brought here was a winning mentality.

"I've never actually mentioned to him that I'm a Rangers man.

"Maybe he'll see this before the game and decide to start me. I might even drop it into conversation to try and force his hand!

"He's a fair man and he doesn't pick anyone who doesn't deserve it. Whether you think he's right or wrong you just need to live with it because he's the boss."
