Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean has said that he is not bothered by protesters after his side's 2-1 defeat by Tottenham Hotspur at Ewood Park.

Fans staged a march outside of the ground before the match and also held a sit-in protest after the game over Kean's continued position as manager.

Despite the discontent, the Scot revealed that he is only interested in what happens on the pitch.

"I don't know if it's a large section of the crowd and to be fair I'm not really paying any attention to anyone who's staying behind," said Kean.

"I'm interested in my players and what they give me.

"The majority of the supporters are with us, the performance of the players shows we're all together as a group. I've got full backing from the owners and we'll grind through it."

The defeat has left Rovers bottom of the Premier League table.
