Scott Brown is set for his biggest test in football management yet as he continues to impress at Fleetwood Town - with the Scottish football great taking his squad to an on-fire Burnley side in the FA Cup on Wednesday evening.
The Celtic hero spent well over a decade at Celtic Park, winning no short of 22 accolades in Glasgow's east end after moving from Hibs for £3million in 2008. Yet despite winning the lot multiple times in Scotland, Brown's career had to come to an end at some point, and in a managerial venture he now plies his trade in the dugout at Highbury Stadium with Fleetwood.
Taking over in the summer, his side currently sit 11th in the third tier after taking 13 points from their last five games to stave away from relegation – and their good form has coincided with an FA Cup run, their best ever after beating Sheffield Wednesday in the fourth round. They travel to Championship table toppers Burnley - managed by Vincent Kompany – in the hopes of landing a scalp; whether they can do it is another question.
