After 22 trophies with Celtic, Brown left Celtic to reunite with his former Hibernian teammate Stephen Glass at Aberdeen. The deal offers him some security as it is a two-year deal that encapsulates both playing and coaching. You would not rule out seeing the player return to Celtic in a managerial capacity at some point in the next few years. Brown’s leadership credentials made him the outstanding candidate as a captain for the upcoming season.
It will be a totally bizarre experience seeing Brown pulling on another kit but he made a decision to prolong his playing career whilst Celtic opted to undergo an overhaul of the footballing department. Brown will always be a Celtic legend but he will be doing all that he can to be a success in his new role.
