Derby County boss Gary Rowett has claimed that he intends to taunt a number of Cardiff City fans who have been texting his mobile phone for three months.

On Tuesday night, Derby came from behind to secure a 3-1 victory over fellow promotion contenders Cardiff, a result which earned the Rams a return to the top six in the Championship table.

After the match, Rowett revealed that he had been inundated with text messages from supporters of the Bluebirds and admits that he intends to get his revenge.

The 44-year-old told Sky Sports News: "Some Cardiff fan has got my number and gave it to his mates and they've been texting me for three months. Tonight, I'm going to text them at 1am, 2am, 3am, 4am and 5am."

Derby will guarantee a playoff spot with victories in their remaining two matches.
