Roy Hodgson vows to keep Graham Dorrans

West Bromwich Albion manager Roy Hodgson has insisted that midfielder Graham Dorrans will not be leaving the club.

SPL champions Rangers have reportedly expressed an interest in signing the Scottish international.

"Graham is a good player and has missed a lot of football since the season when he was Championship Player of the Year," said Hodgson.

"I believe in him very much and he's got an important part to play. We've no interest in losing him and you want to keep your good players, you don't want to see them go.

"We've not had any contact from any club yet about his availability but it wouldn't be welcomed. Without a doubt, he's a Premier League player."

The Baggies travel to Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League on Saturday.
