Blackburn Rovers legend Kevin Gallacher fears a mass exodus following their relegation.

Rovers are officially down after defeat to Wigan Athletic last night.

"Junior (Hoilett) is not holding off signing a contract for no reason. He wants to see what the future holds and now we know the club's future is in the Championship," said Gallacher to BBC Sport.

"No disrespect to Junior but I think he's gone and I am sure he will attract offers from the Premier League and also abroad because he is a real talent.

"You then worry that people like Paul Robinson may go as well. He has been a fantastic goalkeeper for Blackburn and you wonder whether another Premier League club will come in for someone of that experience and calibre.

"[Defender] Gael Givet has been a stalwart but the concern for Blackburn fans will be that these players will want to play at the highest level rather than drop down a division with Rovers. There may be others who feel the same."
