Middlesbrough midfielder Willo Flood believes they can mount a late bid for the play-offs and has targeted eight wins before the end of the season.

Boro are just two points off the play-offs ahead of Saturday's trip to fellow hopefuls Cardiff and Flood is backing the club to push for promotion.

"We've got a good chance," he told BBC Look North.

"We need a good run between now and the end of the season, eight wins would get us into the play-offs."

Flood joined Boro from Scottish Premier League side Celtic during the January transfer window, one of five former Celts to complete the move to the Riverside under boss Gordon Strachan.
