Fitzgerald aims to show Ranieri what he missed

SCOTT FITZGERALD plans to make Claudio Ranieri rue the day he failed to sign him by helping Watford dump Chelsea out of the FA Cup.

The 24-year-old striker spent a week’s trial at Stamford Bridge last season after being spotted at non-league Northwood, but failed to earn a contract despite scoring in two reserve games.

Months later Watford snapped him up on a free transfer, and Fitzgerald now aims to show Ranieri what he missed by adding to a season’s tally of nine goals in their third-round clash at Vicarage Road on Saturday.
