Scott Brown enlists help of 3 Celtic icons to bulldoze his way into more history

Scott Brown has revealed how he has enlisted the help of three former Celtic managers to take Fleetwood Town on a historic FA Cup run.

Last week rookie boss Brown became the first man in Fleetwood’s 115 year existence to lead the Lancashire minnows to the fifth round of the competition - where they will take on Vincent Kompany’s Burnley for a place in the quarter finals. Now, speaking as the first star guest on the all new ’Off The Record’ podcast, the former Parkhead skipper has told how Gordon Strachan, Neil Lennon and Brendan Rodgers have been helping him to plot Fleetwood’s course into the history books as he cuts his teeth in his first job in management.

In the hour-long podcast, Brown reveals how the arrival of Rodgers at Celtic in 2016, helped convince him to forge his own coaching pathway towards a career in the dugout. And the man who captained the Glasgow giants to nine successive titles and a quadruple treble said: “I was going to last at Celtic for as long as I possibly could when he was there because I knew somewhere down the line, I’m going to pick his brains, I’m going to phone him up and ask him for help. And I’ve done that.
