Favouritism won't lead to complacency in League Cup final says Celtic skipper Brown

Celtic captain Scott Brown is well aware that being classed as favourites for this weekend's League Cup final means nothing.

The Hoops meet Kilmarnock at Hampden on Sunday and although the league leaders have 41 points on their seventh-placed opponents on the league table, Brown knows that they cannot take anything for granted in a cut-throat cup final.

"Concentration isn't a problem right now because we're taking every game one at a time. We've a big game on Sunday, I know we're favourites going into it," he said.

"But I've been part of a team who are favourites before and it means nothing on the day. I know what can happen and I'm not taking anything for granted."
