BLACKBURN Rovers boss Gary Bowyer believes ‘outstanding’ Middlesbrough captain and top-scorer Grant Leadbitter will present a threat to his side at the Riverside Stadium tomorrow.
The former Sunderland and Ipswich Town midfielder has netted eight goals in 17 Championship appearances this season to fire Boro up to third in the table.

And Bowyer said: “Grant Leadbitter is outstanding to have eight goals from midfield already.
“He’s someone I’ve followed from under 16s level when he used to play for England schoolboys and Sunderland.
“I’ve monitored his career and it doesn’t surprise me to see him doing as well as what he is.
“It’s going to be a great game for our two midfielders (Corry Evans and Lee Williamson) as they’ve been magnificent as well.”
Rovers have sold more than 600 tickets for tomorrow’s match.
Tickets will be on sale from 1.30pm on the day at the Riverside, cash only.
