Clarets boss Stan Ternent is hoping for a repeat of last season's League Cup campaign after his side booked their place in the third round of the competition last night.

The Clarets' hard-earned 3-2 success over Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park opens up the possibility of a draw against a Premiership outfit.

Last term Burnley beat Tottenham 2-1 at Turf Moor and then gained a dream home tie against Manchester United, but lost 2-0.

But even that result didn't put Ternent off hankering after a re-run in this year's newly named Carling Cup.

"All anyone wants is a home draw, but if that could be against one of the big clubs all the better," he said.

"Obviously it would be ideal if it was against Manchester United. I don't think we would win the game but it would be a great night for the fans and helpful financially from the club's point of view."

Ternent will have to wait until Saturday (5.15pm) to find out his opponents, which will also be the day Burnley become the first side to take on Wimbledon in Milton Keynes. Ternent was well aware that a performance similar to their rather hit and miss display against the Iron would not be good enough.

"We are happy to have won and got through and we will take some comfort from that," he said.

"But we know we need an improved performance against Wimbledon on Saturday.

"We are delighted to have progressed, though we made it hard for ourselves in the second half.

"But we have been to Scunthorpe on enough occasions in the past to know that they are always going to give you a tough game."

The third division outfit certainly did that with Luke Chadwick's opener being matched by a Steve MacLean header before Robbie Blake restored the Clarets lead before half-time.

Ian Moore then looked to have settled the issue only for a fine free-kick by Peter Beagrie to lead to a nervy last six minutes for Burnley.

"Robbie and Ian both scored nice goals, but I was disappointed to concede the late goal which put the pressure on," said Ternent.

"But we have won the game without being at our best, though you have to give Scunthorpe credit for being a real handful, and Peter Beagrie showed he is still a quality player after a very long and successful career.

"We had some lucky breaks, though we were in a position where we could only field 15 and Tony Grant was not fit to even take a seat on the bench."

Ternent will be hoping that Grant will be fit for the weekend.
