McFadden, 25, signed a three-and-a-half year deal when he joined from Everton in January and insists he would not seek a quick exit if Blues suffer the drop. Alex McLeish's men must pick up at least a point against Blackburn and better both Fulham and Reading's results this weekend to retain their top flight status.

McFadden said: "I haven't really given my own situation much thought, although there is obviously a good chance we could go down. I have only just arrived at the club and I'm not looking to leave in a hurry."

He continued: "Hopefully we will get the right result on Sunday, we stay up, and I won't need to worry about anything."

McFadden has been named the inaugural Scottish Football Writers' International Player of the Year.

And he added: "I don't think playing in the Championship would affect me in terms of Scotland.

"If I'm playing every week and scoring goals, it shouldn't make a difference what level I'm playing at."
