FOREST GREEN boss Mark Cooper toasted his side's 1-0 FA Cup victory over Macclesfield Town on a day when Gloucestershire rivals Cheltenham Town crashed out to a shock 4-2 defeat at home to National League minnows Maidstone United.
With Rovers set to go toe-to-toe with the Robins later this month, Cooper cranked up the 'El Glosico' rivalry, he said: "I'm pleased to be in the hat. When you look around and see some of the other results, you realise it is all about getting through. We are through and a team down the road (Cheltenham) are not."
Watch Mark Cooper give his post-match verdict to sports editor Ashley Loveridge in our video below.
