Birmingham City fans may call Steve Bruce something stronger than Potato Head, says Gary Rowett

Gary Rowett has jokingly warned Steve Bruce he may regret telling Birmingham City fans to get creative with the chants they hurl his way when the second city derby kicks off.

Bruce was called 'Potato Head' by Birmingham supporters as he scouted Sunday's opponents in their defeat at Burton, reprising the insult directed his way by Aston Villa followers during his six-year tenure at St Andrew's.

But afterwards the 55-year-old said the song was a little tired and suggested his new slimmer frame warranted something fresher, a challenge Rowett believes Birmingham fans will only too gratefully accept.
