Wayne Rooney has delivered a poignant message to Derby County fans following the club's relegation from the Championship.
Derby's defeat at Queens Park Rangers, couple with Reading's comeback draw against Swansea City, means the Rams will be playing League One football next season. It brings to an end one of the boldest survival escapes of all time, with County fighting against a 21-point handicap imposed for entering administration and breaching financial rules.
In the immediate aftermath of relegation, former England and Manchester United striker Rooney admitted he was experiencing a whirlwind of emotions including sadness but also pride. A video has since emerged of boss Rooney addressing a group of supporters.
