‘Broony, Broony…’ 542 games, 42 goals, 19 domestic honours, 3 times Player of the Year

CELTIC Gossip tweeted this – Yesterday I think Broony summed up this Jock Stein quote very well, “Unlike many other Celts, I cannot claim that Celtic was my first love … but I can say that it will be my last love.”

JT tweeted this, Scott Brown proving again he still runs Scottish football, hes been written off by fans and players but hes still bossing it. Great Celtic Captain, Born Leader, Earned the right to be called a Legend.

Celtic Quote doing exactly what it says on the tin, “A couple of years ago some people were saying that I was finished and I’m here to prove people wrong,” Scott Brown

“Scott Brown defies logic. 34 year old, played nearly every game this season, sprinting from one end of the park to the other to get his second. Legend

Here’s Broony completing his double yesterday…

Adam Lynch makes some of us feel rather old. He tweeted, “Was too young to remember Larsson. But growing up watching Scott Brown has honestly been class what a captain and without a doubt one of the greatest Celtic players of all time.”

“Scott Brown will go down as an absolute legend. It’s a case of when, not if, his legs go now at his age, but right now he is still doing everything he always had and we should be grateful for that. In a few years he will be away. An absolute inspiration,” BigKev noted.

Here’s the man himself, talking after a game that he was NEVER going to miss. We did say that him and Lenny were indulging in a game of bluff and double bluff with Hibs on Friday!
