Jason Cummings has shot down claims playing at Liverpool will be his biggest achievement in football - because he's starred in Old Firm clashes.
The former Rangers striker bagged himself a brilliant double off the bench for the League One side against the Reds in FA Cup action last weekend, setting up a replay at Anfield.
But asked if a run-out against the Champions League holders and current Premier League leaders would eclipse anything else he's done in the game to date, Cummings nipped back to deny the thought.

Speaking to talkSPORT's Ian Abrahams after his goals, Moose said: "Of all your achievements in Scotland, you've scored in this semi-final, this quarter-final, going to Anfield in the replay here, is that going to be the biggest game of your life?"
To which Cummings responded: "Nah, I've played in a few Old Firms. I don't think it gets much bigger than that." Pushed by the broadcaster who went again: "Anfield is bigger than the Old Firm?", Cummings again hit back: "Not for me."
Scottish football fans loved the response from the hitman with some claiming he put Moose "back in his place".
One said: "Jason Cummings is a bit of an a*** but fair play to him for sticking up for the Scottish game." Another wrote: "Not the biggest fan of Cummings but credit where it's due, well said mate!"
One fan responded: "Fair play Jason Cummings standing up for the Scottish game and shutting down these English pundits". A fourth laughed: "What a way to unite the Old Firm."
Cummings made 18 appearances in Light Blue, scoring six goals.
