Riley McGree explains Celtic snub as Birmingham City star makes vow to supporters

Welcome to BirminghamLive's coverage of all things Birmingham City on

Juninho Bacuna says he is trying to add consistency to his game having made a positive start to his Birmingham City career. The talented midfielder has produced two goals and three assists in the 16 games he has played since joining from Rangers in January.

He has become a fixture in Lee Bowyer’s side, impressing with his composure on the ball and his distribution. But no-one has ever doubted the 24-year-old’s technical gifts, the challenge for him has been to continually strive to get the best out of himself.

And speaking to BirminghamLive he has explained how at home he feels with Blues. “I have definitely enjoyed it,” he said. “I have been playing games, that is the most important thing. It’s a great squad, everyone is on it, we have a difference in the team, hard workers, guys who can do something with the ball but everyone is working hard.

“Every time I step on the pitch I am trying to be the best me, give everything for the team. It has been working, I think, in those games – and I will carry on for the last game and for next season do the same.

“I am trying to be consistent in every game, to show my abilities and to work hard for the team. It’s not always coming out but I am still human, we are doing our best on the pitch. I am working hard [without the ball], it is important for the team, we have to do it all 11 players on the pitch, I have to do it myself.

“We are going to do everything we can for the fans at home, last game hopefully we can get the three points there. Not just for the manger, the whole team, the whole club, the fans, we will just try to carry on the performance we are doing and try to get the result next week."
