Final word for now goes to the Celtic captain, Scott Brown. He had remained silent whilst Joey Barton, brought in from English Championship side Burnley, on a reputedly large salary, had bad-mouthed him in the press, claiming that Brown was “nowhere near the level of player I am.” The controversial midfielder’s words had come back to haunt him, the veteran Celt dominating proceedings from the outset, leaving the field to a standing ovation on 74 minutes, the game and Joey already in the bag.
Pressed by the headline-seeking media afterwards about the anticipated “battle with Barton,” Brown dismissed it out of hand.
“It was easy.
There was no battling whatsoever.
It was pretty much Men versus Boys at the end of the day.”
