Steven Reid wants Blackburn to bring the curtain down on their season in a blaze of glory at Birmingham.

Mark Hughes' men travel to take on Alex McLeish's relegation-threatened side just one point behind Aston Villa in the race to qualify for Europe next season.

Reid is convinced Rovers have the character to cope with last-day nerves and feels they are capable of taking the spoils and secure an Intertoto Cup place.

"We've got a great chance," the Rovers midfielder told the club's official website. "We are just a point behind Villa now, so if we win against Birmingham on Sunday and they fail to get a result against West Ham then we'll finish in sixth place.

"Sixty-one points in other seasons has been enough for Europe and hopefully it will be the same again."

Not even a victory for the home side will guarantee safety as a win for Fulham over Portsmouth would send Birmingham down regardless of the result at St Andrews.

Reid added: "It is always a decent atmosphere there but I think with the results needed it will make it that bit more special, it is a game we are looking forward to.

"Their fans are going to get behind them, it is always a tough game down there, and with them needing to get a result against us it is going to be even tougher."
