Ex-Rangers star Josh Windass comes off the bench for Sheffield Wednesday as familiar Ibrox foe Scott Brown leads Fleetwood Town to a history-making FA Cup victory.
The Cods have made it to the last 16 of the famous English trophy for the first time in their history courtesy of a 1-0 victory over the Owls at Highbury Stadium.
The win comes courtesy of a goal from another familiar name in Carlos Mendes Gomes, who was extensively linked to Rangers before moving to Luton Town in the English Championship in 2021.
Now turning out for Fleetwood Town, the attacker scored the only goal on the hour mark to send Sheffield Wednesday packing and guide the League One outfit to the FA Cup Last 16 for the first-time ever.
Josh Windass was introduced to the match ten minutes later alongside bluenose midfielder George Byers, but the pair couldn’t prevent ex-Celtic captain Scott Brown and his team progressing.
This comes after a 1-1 draw at Hillsborough, where Josh Windass played the entire 90 minutes, had forced the game to a replay.

Sheffield Wednesday also turn out in the English third tier, but the Hillsborough club have substantially more history in the competition having won the trophy three times.
The victory over Sheffield Wednesday also comes despite the stuttering league form of Fleetwood Town and Scott Brown, who are 17th in the division after losing their last four games.
Wednesday and Josh Windass, in contrast, are sitting top of League One, level on points with Plymouth and six points ahead of playoff chasers Ipswich Town.
The result means Fleetwood Town will now face off against Championship leaders Burnley for a place in the quarter-finals of the competition.
Meanwhile, Rangers have been handed a boost surrounding Alfredo Morelos.
