Aberdeen boss Craig Brown wants FIFA to increase compensation fees payable to clubs who lose their best young talent.

The Dons have twice scored last-gasp equalisers against Motherwell this season and Brown has prepared his side for a penalty shoot-out as they bid to secure a trip to Hibernian in the fifth round. "Maybe we are tempting fate but we will do some penalty kick practice in case it gets to that stage, because we have been unfortunate in penalty deciders here," he said. "That is a distinct possibility in this fixture. "I'm not a great believer in penalty practice but we'll have a look so the lads who are going to take them have some recent practice, but there's a big, big difference between a training ground penalty and a real penalty. "It could be a long night and it could be competitive." But the former Motherwell manager added: "It could be an outstanding game of football because they play and we try to play. "May the better team win on the night because we are very similar this season in everything."
