Scott Brown swerves FA Cup shock as Celtic hero saluted by match winner for half time shake-up

Scott Brown's Fleetwood Town overcame a stubborn Ebbsfleet United side to win their FA Cup second round tie 1-0 and set up a potential Premier League date with destiny.

The Celtic hero is looking to make his name as a manager and has gone to the Cod Army in England's League One as a starting point. He's already came across Frank Lampard's Everton in the Carabao Cup and now joins 19 other EPL sides in the third round after Gerard Garner's second half goal sealed a narrow win.

It was their only shot on target in a stodgy game and their goalscorer says that tactical changes from Brown after a lacklustre first half ensured victory over National League South opposition. He told ITV: "It is good to get through to the next round as we knew this would be a tough game. They gave us a good one and I was happy to get the winning goal.
