Derby County attacker Craig Fagan admits he'll be disappointed if hometown club Birmingham City follow them into the Championship at the end of the season.

Fagan told the Sunday Mercury: "Being a Birmingham lad it would be good if they stayed in the Premiership.

"But at the end of the day, if I have to score a goal that plays a part in putting them down, then so be it.

"I'm getting paid by Derby County and, once the whistle blows, there are no loyalties on the pitch.

"They are in a better situation than we are so I'm bound to get a bit of banter from people back in Birmingham but it's all in jest.

"My family are Birmingham supporters, we're from the blue half of the city, so I get stick from the Villa fans as well!"
