Pundit Ian Wright says he is hoping Millwall can win promotion.

Neil Harris, manager of Millwall looks on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Millwall and Wolverhampton at The Den on December 26, 2017 in London, England.

Millwall have emerged as late contenders to crash the Championship play-off spots.

They sit in seventh place, just two points off Derby County in sixth.

Pundit Ian Wright has told SkySports he is hoping they end up winning promotion and he is thrilled for the job Neil Harris has done at Millwall so far this season.

BT Sport pundit Ian Wright looks on prior to the Emirates FA Cup Semi-Final match between Arsenal and Manchester City at Wembley Stadium on April 23, 2017 in London, England.

Speaking to SkySports The Debate (24/4 10pm), Wright said: “Neil Harris has done miraculous, he’s done an unbelievable job.

“You know, I would love to see Millwall back in the Premier League. Simply to have Millwall in the Premier League shaking it up would be brilliant.

“What Neil Harris has done for the club as a player and a manager has got to be commended, I’d love to see them at least make the play-offs.”

Millwall are putting the pressure on more fancied sides above them not to slip up, and their final two games of the season are ‘six pointers’ against sides they are competing with.

On Saturday they travel to Middlesbrough before hosting Aston Villa on the final day of the season.

It will be tough simply to make the top six, but if they do, they will have earned it, and then the fun can really begin.
