Calderwood ‘excited’ by possible Hughton reunion

HIBERNIAN manager Colin Calderwood last night admitted the possibility of joining Chris Hughton as assistant at Birmingham is “exciting”, casting doubt on his role at Easter Road.

Calderwood was assistant to Hughton at Newcastle, helping the Magpies to promotion to the Premier League, before taking control at Easter Road last October.

However, his family remain in England and speculation has mounted that Hughton — appointed Birmingham boss this week — would like to make the former Scotland international his number two at St Andrew’s.
