Neill gets team-mate backingBlackburn midfielder Robbie Savage has told the club’s fans to support team-mate Lucas Neill despite his refusal to sign a new deal at the club.
"Lucas has been a great servant to this football club," said Savage.
"In this day and age the modern-day footballer has every right to keep his options open.
"I think the club bought him for £1million, he's been a great servant and while he's still a Blackburn player, if that's for another month or six months, the fans should get behind him.
"It's not right booing your own players, like when his name was read out at the beginning, and he answered them in the best possible way with the goal.
"Lucas isn't the first player to let his contract run down and he won't be the last and we hope he stays, but he's keeping his options open and that's up to him.
"Lucas is his own person. The lads want him to stay because he's a great character, a leader and whatever he decides to do it's his choice."
