Coventry City’s on-loan Irish defender Luke McNally admits the Sky Blues march to the Championship promotion playoff was motivated by proving their doubters wrong.

The defender joined from Burnley in January and since then they've masterminded a run that took them past Middlesbrough in Wednesday’s semi-final to a Wembley date against Luton Town on Saturday week.
