New Bristol City boss Derek McInnes thanks fans despite losing his first game in charge of the club.

New Bristol City manager Derek McInnes has thanked fans despite losing his first game in charge of the club.

The Scot, who took over earlier this week, was on the receiving end of a 2-0 defeat by Birmingham City at Ashton Gate on Sunday.

"I thank the fans for the reception they gave me and they stuck with the team," McInnes told the club's official website. "No-one likes seeing their side losing, especially at home, but by staying together is the only way we can get out of it.

"I'm learning about my players all the time and it will be good to have another week with them as we look ahead to Barnsley next Saturday."

The defeat has left the Robins bottom of the Championship table.
