Derby County goalkeeper Lee Grant believes that the club's supporters have plenty to be proud of this season.

The Rams achieved a record points tally and ended the campaign as the highest scorers in the Championship, as they finished third in the table.

"If you had reeled off those facts probably five or 10 games into the season, you would might have had a lot of Derby fans laughing at you," Grant told Derby's official website.

"To be here now, with those things secured is an unbelievable achievement, we certainly can't lose sight of that.

"Things are moving in the right direction both on and off the field. Come what may, by the end of May, [Derby fans] can certainly take a lot of heart with what is happening at this football club."

Derby face Brighton & Hove Albion in the first leg of their playoff semi-final on Thursday evening.
