Danny Simpson: 'We are delighted with progress in Champions League'

Leicester City defender Danny Simpson admits that it is "a massive achievement" for the Foxes to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League.

Leicester City defender Danny Simpson has insisted that the Foxes players will quickly turn their attentions to the Premier League after 'enjoying their moment' in Europe.

On Tuesday night, Leicester recorded a 2-1 win over Club Brugge to book their place in the last 16 of the Champions League as they continued to defy the odds in European football's premier competition.

However, with the East Midlands outfit struggling in the Premier League, Simpson admits that they must now focus on moving the club up the domestic standings.

The 29-year-old told Sky Sports News: "It's a massive achievement for the players and the club, especially with a game to spare.

"Everyone is delighted but we have a big game on Saturday. We need to enjoy this moment now but come tomorrow, we need to get ready for Saturday."

Simpson has featured in two of Leicester's five European fixtures this season.
