It’s a big night for former Celtic captain Scott Brown as his Fleetwood Town side continue their dream FA Cup run.

Brown is the manager of the English League One side, who tonight take on Championship high-flyers Burnley at Turf Moor.

It’s the fifth round of the competition, with just 12 teams now left after last night’s results.

Fleetwood are in terrific form after a mixed start to the season. The Cods have won five of their last six matches in all competitions, conceding just one goal in that time.

They have already dumped both QPR and Sheffield Wednesday out of the FA Cup and will be eyeing up a third shock this evening.

But Vincent Kompany’s Burnley are destined for the Premier League, and will be tough opposition.

They currently lead the Championship by 12 points, with a further seven points to third placed Middlesbrough.

Tonight’s game is hardly the pick of the round, and Fleetwood are big underdogs, but Brown’s big-match experience will be in their favour.

Celtic fans can watch the match too, via the BBC’s online options. The match will be available on the BBC Sport website, as well as iPlayer and the red button.

C’mon Broony, keep the run going.
