Stefan Scougall: 'Tottenham Hotspur tie far from over'

Stefan Scougall has warned Tottenham Hotspur that Bramall Lane will be "absolutely rocking" when Sheffield United bid to overturn a 1-0 deficit in their League Cup semi-final.

Andros Townsend netted a 74th-minute penalty as Spurs drew first blood in the two-legged affair at White Hart Lane last night.

Despite that setback, Scougall is convinced that the Blades' partisan fans will make Wednesday's return leg anything but a formality for the Premier League side.

"Bramall Lane will be absolutely rocking," he told the London Evening Standard.

"The fans will be great. They show great support to all the boys and they and they get right behind us which gives us good motivation to get a result for them.

"They will always sing until the end like they do every match."

Nigel Clough's side are no strangers to a giant-killing this season, having eliminated West Ham United and Southampton in the earlier rounds, as well as knocking Queens Park Rangers out of the FA Cup.
