As Levein prepares his team to take on local rivals Derby County in this afternoons Championship clash his experience north of the border is going to be needed.

Craig knows all about local rivalries, speaking on the official Leicester City site Levein said

"During my time as both a player and a manager in Scotland I was fortunate enough to experience a number of derby matches. The two teams, both from the same city, would meet each other on four occasions during the season and basically batter the hell out of each other.

"Generally, in games such as these, the team that keeps the cooler head tends to be the one that does better. You have to play with passion, of course, because that is what the supporters expect, and that's what you need in this division to pick up points.

"Both Derby and ourselves will be desperate for the points this weekend, so there will be an extra edge to the game. It has all the makings of a decent match."
