The 36-year-old striker has made just one top-flight start so far this term, and there was speculation that he could soon be on his way out of St Andrew's.
But he won't be heading to Middlesbrough, or so we believe.
Alex McLeish: "We don't have any plans to get Kevin out of the door.
"Kevin is still sprightly on the training ground, he is still worth something to our squad. His contribution to the Bolton game recently was good.
"I know he wants to play every week and feels at 36 he is capable of doing that so I understand his frustration."
