How the Irish fared: Stephen Gleeson back to bite MK Dons as Birmingham remain unbeaten

In-form Stephen Gleeson returned to haunt MK Dons on Saturday, scoring the opening goal as Birmingham maintained their unbeaten start to the season to climb to seventh in the Championship.

Gleeson spent five years with MK Dons but there was no sign of divided loyalties as he followed up his goal against Derby with another fine effort against his former employers.

Birmingham boss Gary Rowett was quick to hail Gleeson’s contribution.
