Scott Brown, the former Celtic captain, is the firm favourite to be appointed Fleetwood manager in the next 24 hours.

The role would be Brown’s first in management after he left Aberdeen in March where he was player-coach.

Stephen Crainey will return to his role with the Fleetwood’s U23s following a spell as Head Coach since December following the departure of Simon Grayson. He won 26 points during his 29-game stint at the helm.
