27 Feb 2011 Bartley: Not many Rangers players like Scott Brown - we'll see how he gets on in cup clash

KYLE BARTLEY insists Rangers will be gunning for Celtic skipper Scott Brown in Wednesday's Scottish Cup replay at Parkhead.

The Hoops No.8 angered the Ibrox dressing-room with his controversial goal celebration in the 2-2 draw that set up the fifth-round rematch.

The midfielder taunted El Hadji Diouf by standing right in front of the Gers striker and staring into his eyes.

That sparked a war of words after the match as both players ripped into each other.

Brown's conduct won him plenty of enemies across the city and Bartley claims Gers will be out for revenge in midweek.

The on-loan Arsenal kid was booked for clattering Brown inside five minutes when Celtic won 3-0 on league duty at Parkhead last weekend.

And he has warned the Hoops star - who was sent off last season for a clash with Kyle Lafferty - to expect more of the same.

Bartley said: "Not many people at Rangers get on with Scott Brown and I'm not his biggest fan so we will see what happens in the next game."

Bartley made his Old Firm debut in the league defeat and admits he was taken aback by the pace and passion at Parkhead.

Being booked so early left him walking a tightrope but he will be more careful this time.

He said: "The early booking hindered my game. I was told to keep my head and didn't really take that advice. Hopefully next time I will.

"The intensity and standard of play was a lot higher than I expected."

The 19-year-old utility man is desperate to get Gers' season back on track and believes they can still clinch the Treble.

He said: "None of the lads thinks the title race is over. Every side has its blips and I still think we are the better team."
