Wright impresses Reid

He was also pleased with the way debutant Stephen Wright handled the threat of Blackburns emerging "star" Damien Duff, even though the new signing was booked in the opening minute for a foul on the Blackburn man.

Reid said: "I thought he was a little bit unfortunate to get booked. Tommy Butler was clattered four times in two minutes, but not one yellow card was awarded.

"But that is nit-picking. Wright showed what he is - a defender who can get it down and pass it. He stuck at it really well."

“I am very pleased with my team and my defenders.”
