Bristol City manager Steve Cotterill has said that his players can now go and enjoy themselves after their 0-0 draw against Coventry City secured the League One title for the club.

Cotterill had banned alcoholic drinks after the team secured promotion with a 6-0 victory over Bradford City on Tuesday, but has told his players to "let their hair down" now that the title is secured.

"I won't be anywhere near the players. They can let their hair down," Cotterill told Sky Sports News.

"We would all have liked a drink after the Bradford game, but there was still a job to be done because we desperately wanted the silverware.

"So it was tea and orange juice on the coach coming home. Now I might have two cups of tea and I'm expecting a free coffee at my local Costa."

Bristol City are returning to the Championship after three seasons in League One.
