Gary Caldwell joked that the Highbury Stadium technical areas might need subtitles and policing this afternoon as he prepares to lock horns with former Celtic team mate Scott Brown.

The Exeter City boss will go head-to-head with his Fleetwood Town counterpart for the first time as managers in the League One crunch.

But friendships will be put aside for 90 minutes as the duo looks to win the battle for three crucial points. Caldwell - whose second and last title with the Hoops in 2007 was the first of Brown’s 10 - reckons his younger colleague has made a fantastic start to life in the dug out fuelled by 14-years of handling the demands to win every time he stepped on the park with Celtic.

The duo were also team mates for Hibs and Scotland during long and distinguished careers north of the border. And as he prepares to head to the Lancashire coast, Caldwell said: “Scott is someone I had great success with at Celtic, I played with him when he was a young player at Hibs and obviously the national team as well. “He was a fantastic player and is a good person.
