Nottingham Forest are due to take on Derby County at the Pride Park later this evening.

Radio presenter Stan Collymore looks on before the Barclays Premier League match between Newcastle United and  Aston Villa at St James' Park on February 23, 2014 in Newcastle upon Tyne,...

Stan Collymore has urged Nottingham Forest to get a victory tonight, ahead of their match against Derby County.

Forest and Derby are set to take each other on at Pride Park later this evening, in what looks like it could be a fiercely contested match.

Both Derby and Forest are locked in the race for promotion, and Collymore is keen to see his former side get the three points.

A victory for Forest tonight would be a major boost to their chances of promotion.

The Reds are currently in seventh place in the Championship table, but they would leapfrog Derby into fifth spot with a win tonight.

Aitor Karanka’s side go into the game on the back of a defeat against Preston North End in their last game.

Derby, meanwhile, were victorious in their last outing, as they beat Wigan Athletic 1-0.

Collymore was not the only ex-Forest player to tweet ahead of the match either, as both Darren Huckerby and Andy Reid also posted on social media.
