Steve Kean admits that he needs a bodyguard to protect him from potential violent outbursts from Blackburn Rovers supporters.

Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean has revealed that he has a bodyguard with him at all times due to the hostility from supporters.

The Scotsman has had a difficult relationship with the Blackburn fans since his appointment in 2010, with a number of supporters staging numerous protests against the 44-year-old.

"I was advised that it would be in my interest to have somebody with me at all times," Kean told The Times. "I was at a restaurant with my wife and children a few months ago and got a text message from a friend telling me to be careful.

"There was stuff going out on Twitter from an activist group which identified the restaurant so that people could confront me.

"I think the vast majority of fans are passionate, but non-violent, whether towards me or anybody else. I also think most of the Blackburn fans are behind me. It is surreal, though, I cannot deny that."

Blackburn currently linger above relegation in the Premier League table.
