Mark Hughes fears that ex Blackburn striker Craig Bellamy could inflict more pain on his struggling Rovers side when the two sides meet on Boxing Day

Craig Bellamy is now showing the kind of form that encouraged Liverpool to trigger his 6 million price tag.

Hughes said:
"Craig Bellamy proved he is a quality player for us last year,"

"That is the reason why he was coveted by Liverpool.

"He has had a bit of a settling in period, but quality always comes to the fore and it was only a matter of time before Craig started scoring the goals we know he is capable of.

"He did a great job for us last year and we were sorry to see him go. We will enjoy welcoming him back - and hopefully beating him.
