Bristol City's Jon Stead says he has no point to prove to Ipswich manager Roy Keane and he will not celebrate if he scores a goal against his former club on Saturday.The striker returns to Portman Road less than a week after leaving to join Robins after he led Ipswich's attack at Crystal Palace last Saturday."I'll be happy if I score a goal, don't get me wrong," he told the Bristol Evening Post, "But I won't go crazy or anything like that. There will be no celebration."It's a case of being respectful. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and the fans were great to me. They got behind me and backed me, even when I wasn't playing well, and that's something I'll always remember."I certainly won't be rubbing it in if I score on Saturday."I definitely don't have anything to prove to the manager at Ipswich. I'm more concerned with doing a good job for Bristol City and putting my career back on track."
