Brian McClair left Manchester United in 1998 after scoring 127 goals in 471 appearances for the club. 

A six-month spell at Motherwell followed before he took up a role as Brian Kidd's assistant at Blackburn.

The pair could not prevent Rovers slipping out of the Premier League and McClair returned to Old Trafford, rising through the coaching ranks.

After a decade in charge of the club's Academy, he accepted an offer to become performance director at the Scottish Football Association in June 2015.

No mistaking who these two are backing...

And then there were eight. The quarter-finals certainly did not disappoint in terms of drama and stories. Chelsea's hopes of making the final ended on Merseyside as Everton kept alive their hopes of winning a first major trophy since 1995.

Chelsea forward Diego Costa appeared to make contact with the neck of Everton's Gareth Barry at the end of a running battle between the pair as he received his first red card in English football - although managers Guus Hiddink and Roberto Martinez later refused to condemn the striker.

Holders Arsenal crashed out at home to Watford while Crystal Palace comfortable disposed of Reading - the only surviviors from outside the Premier League - and Manchester United won at West Ham in a replay.

Not sure how this relates exactly Saravanan, but that is a terrific ganache.

Here are the results:

• The probability of a Palace win in normal time is 29% 
• A United win in normal time is 45%
• And the probability of it going to extra time is 26%

Ever wondered about that caped crusader walking the streets of Thornton Heath?..

You would expect Chelsea versus Manchester City in an FA Cup fifth round tie to be a hard-fought tight affair. It was anything but as a below-strength City team containing five teenage full debutants were blown away 5-1 at Stamford Bridge.

Tottenham Hotspur's FA Cup dream ended at the hands of Crystal Palace whileWest Bromwich Albion were on the receiving end of a Reading upset in a tie overshadowed by winger Chris Brunt being struck on the face by a coin thrown by a Baggies supporter.

Tune in on BBC One now (not in Scotland).  

League Two Exeter City's 2-0 win over League One Port Vale sparked celebrations in parts of Devon. It was only when the draw for the third round was made that the rest of the country really sat up and took an interest in the Grecians.

For goals by Jordan Tillson and Ollie Watkins earned Exeter a third round date with Liverpool in front of the BC One cameras.

The second round proved a step too far for non-League Salford,Stourbridge,Northwich Victoria,Welling United, Altrincham,Whitehawk,Forest Green Rovers and Grimsby.
