Birmingham boss McLeish faces captaincy dilemma

Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish admits he faces a dilemma over the Blues captaincy.

McLeish has to decide who will skipper the side against Reading if Damien Johnson is included.

He was skipper last season but in his absence Liam Ridgewell has led Birmingham during the first half of the current campaign.

McLeish said: "The captaincy is not something I have thought about. We have got Liam doing it on the pitch and Jonty is the club captain.

"I don't know how it works in terms of protocol. I will have a think about it and talk to the lads in due course before Saturday."
