McClaren insists he is focused on securing promotion from the Championship with the Rams.

He said: “It’s the speculation season and all we can do is focus on what we are doing.

“We’ve got big games coming up and a job to do here.

“In the last year, I think we have established ourselves as a very good team.

“The club is building and growing and these are a great bunch of lads to work with and when they play like they did tonight, I enjoy watching their football.”
