Caldwell family split as Wigan face Burnley

Wigan Athletic defender Gary Caldwell admits there's split family loyalties ahead of this weekend's clash with Burnley.

The game holds extra significance for Caldwell with his brother Steven a Burnley player, but the only family reunion this weekend will take place off the field.

Caldwell said: "There is a whole bus load coming from Scotland because of my brother's ties with Burnley.

"Unfortunately he is not going to be fit for the game but it was always a fixture that jumped out at you. It is a massive game for both clubs.

"We have to be right because we are at home and have to do everything to win the game.

"We have to be ready, physically and mentally right. It is going to go a long way in determining where we finish this season."
