Kris Commons felt Derby County's 1-1 draw at Millwall on Saturday afternoon was a fair result.

The Rams and the Lions must lock horns again in the FA Cup a week on Tuesday at Pride Park Stadium for the right to take part in this season's Fourth Round of famous competition.

Commons struck the equaliser for Derby in the second half to cancel out Lewis Grabban's opener for the home side.

The Scotland international felt a draw was just about what both sides deserved and is confident the Rams can finish the job off in the replay.

He told dcfc.co.uk: "It was always going to be a tough game at Millwall, and that is what it proved to be.

"I think a draw was a fair result on the balance of things, and hopefully we can finish the job back at home.

"They had a few chances and perhaps they will feel hard done by, but back at Pride Park we are confident.

"I think this draw is another confidence boost for us because we've come from behind in a tough game away from home.

"Now we must re-focus on the Championship and the visit of Scunthorpe on Saturday before the replay."

Commons was pleased to announce his return after two months out with a hamstring injury with a goal, and is now hoping for an extended run in the side after a stop-start campaign.

"It was nice to score; I don't think I played that well so to get a goal was a good feeling," he said.

"I've been out a while and some things that come naturally when you are fully fit weren't happening for me, but I just have to keep working hard and it will all come together.

"It was my first start since mid-October so I will have benefited and now hopefully I can keep my place against Scunthorpe and kick on."
