Collymore, who played for the Villans between 1997 and 2000, says he would streak around the home ground of bitter rivals Birmingham City for a Championship play-off spot.
Saturday’s goalless draw at home to Millwall leaves Villa sitting fifth in the table.
When asked by a fan whether manager Steve Bruce would lead the club to promotion, Collymore replied: “I’ll run naked around St Andrew’s for top six.”
Villa were lucky to draw against Millwall and had keeper Sam Johnstone to thank for saving a point.
The Lions managed eight shots on target and Bruce admitted his side struggled to match their opponents.
He said: “Sometimes, you have to say ‘well done’ to the opposition.
“We found it difficult against a big, tough, physical Millwall team.
“We found it difficult in the first phases of winning the challenges.
“But we must not forget – and I don’t want to make excuses – but we are without our big headers of the ball in Terry, Jedinak and Kodjia and we found it tough and we then ended up getting sucked into the way they played and didn’t play enough when we had it.
“It’s one of the frustrating days where you take a point, move on and get back on the training ground on Monday morning.”
