Celtic hero Scott Brown is set to face his biggest challenge in management this evening when his Fleetwood Town side take on English Championship leaders Burnley in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The Cods have knocked out QPR and Sheffield Wednesday already in the tournament this season and they will be hoping to pull off yet another upset at Turf Moor.

Brown's men are also undefeated in their last six games in all competitions, winning five and they currently sit 11th in the third tier of English football.

Speaking to the club's official website ahead of the match, the former Hoops captain said: "It’s an exceptional game to look forward to; first time in the fifth round against the Championship leaders that play unbelievable possession-based football consistently.

"They always have high intensity and look to lock you in by putting you under pressure so we are looking forward to the challenge.

“It’s going to be a different challenge, but the lads have got to go out there and enjoy it because it’s phenomenal what they’ve done so far this season in this competition and anything that happens after this is a bonus.

"For us, we’ve just got to enjoy the moment, and play as well as we can, but not go out there and defend for 90 minutes.

“They are a possession-based team, so we’ve got to go there with a game plan and when we do have the ball during the game, we’ve got to be calm, make the right decisions at the right time, whilst also having that willingness to run in behind and cause them problems too."
