McCarthy reveals his biggest derby

Mick McCarthy hopes Sunday's South Wales derby emerges top of the pile, but it is another fiercely-contested clash north of the border which sticks out as the manager's biggest rivalry to date.

McCarthy has been in the professional game 44 years and has seen his fair share of derbies, of that there is no doubt, and Cardiff City versus Swansea City is certainly up there.

He has fond memories of derby days, and some not-so-fond ones, of course, with the win down in Swansea back in March no doubt ranking highly.

However, it was a derby during his playing days that sits at the top of the tree for him, but he hopes a much-needed win over the Swans this weekend will usurp that Old Firm clash.

"I hope this one ends up being my favourite!" McCarthy said.

"But it’ll do a lot to top the Celtic-Rangers game, my final game when we won the cup. That was pretty special.

"But if we can win on Sunday, we might just top it."
