Graham Coughlan has said he isn't interested in captaining the Owls. Coughlan led Wednesday out at Home Park at the weekend but insists that it was just a nice gesture from the team on his return to Devon. Glenn Whelen is set to regain the captains armband for the game against Watford tonight.

Owls defender Graham Coughaln has said that he isn't interested in retaining the captains armband.

The former Plymouth defender was given captaincy of the team for the trip to Plymouth at the weekend but insists that it was just a gesture from the team on his return to his former club.

He told the official site: ''The boys made a nice gesture towards me and I appreciated that. But it's something I'm not interested in and the manager knows that.''

Coughlan was captain for two years when he was at Livingston but admits that he would rather concentrate on his job of defending rather than captaining the team.

''I was captain at Livingston for two years and I wasn't comfortable with it.'' He added.

Coughlan has topped a Wednesday Wonderland poll this season to see who should captain Wednesday.

Glenn Whelen is set to regain the captains armband for tonights clash with Watford at Hillsborough after Coughlan has ruled himself out of future appearances at captain.
