Scott Dann Blow For Birmingham.

Birmingham manager Alex McLeish has confirmed that the injury to central defender Scott Dann is worse than expected and now he could miss the rest of the season because of a severe hamstring problem.

But that doesn`t mean the boss will be running out to buy a replacement as he has faith in his current stand in Martin Jiranek to do a job for Blues.

McLeish told PA Sport: ‘I think it will be a long shot for Scott to be back before the end of the season.

‘Nothing has been totally confirmed yet but we are going to miss him for a long time.

‘It’s a blow and we wish the big fellow a successful recovery first and foremost.

‘But I’ve got Jiranek. I brought Martin in just in case of an emergency and he is ready to step in.’
