Blackburn banish Diouf for showing off Rangers title medal

Blackburn Rovers have banished El Hadji Diouf from club HQ for showing off the SPL title medal he won with Rangers.

The Scottish Sun says he turned up with the gong after his four-month stay at Ibrox ended. But Rovers boss Steve Kean - an ex-Celtic youth player - was not impressed.

Kean got coach Iain Brunskill to get rid of Diouf and an insider said: "That day El Hadji was showing off his medal and behaving pretty obnoxiously.

"The rest of players were fighting for their survival in the Premier League and the management weren't happy about Diouf disrupting them.

"He was ordered to leave and told he wasn't welcome back at the training ground for the remainder of the season.

"But he was expected back for the start of the pre-season training - and there's no sign of him."
