Scott Brown admits he has no interest in any pre-match wind-ups or mind games ahead of facing old foe Joey Barton.
The former Rangers midfielder previously stated that the legendary Celtic skipper was 'nowhere near' his level on his arrival to Scotland's top flight under Mark Warburton. However, his one Old Firm derby ended in a 5-1 thrashing by Brown and Co in a result that proved to be the beginning of the end for Barton at Ibrox.
Six years on the duo are both in the dugout with Fleetwood and Bristol Rovers set to lock horns next weekend in English League One. As things stand there is nothing to separate the two sides with both locked on 20 points and just one spot in the table between them. The Celtic hero is ready for the battle - but he won't be turning it into a personal grudge match insisting it's all about the teams doing the talking on the park.
