Cuthbert joined Swindon from Celtic in July 2009

Swindon Town's stand-in captain Scott Cuthbert says wearing the armband will not affect the way he plays.

The 23-year-old defender took on the role in the weekend draw with Leyton Orient as club captain Jonathan Douglas missed the game with a toe injury.

Cuthbert told BBC Wiltshire: "It was nice to captain the team, but it doesn't really change anything I do on the park.

"I still want to be the same type of player with or without the armband."

Cuthbert may be required to deputise again this Saturday at Yeovil, and the former Celtic man revealed it would be an honour to be asked again in the future.

"If I play well and show that I am maturing then I would be honoured to get the captaincy, but that's up to the manager," Cuthbert added.

"All I can do is go out every weekend and give it my all."
