Former Celtic duo Joe Ledley and Chris Sutton have responded to Scott Brown’s decision to sign a pre-contract with Aberdeen to become a player-coach with the Pittodrie side. After fourteen years in Glasgow’s East End, Brown has decided to transition into management with the North East outfit under former teammate Stephen Glass.

Sutton has praised Brown, wishing him luck as he moves on after a sensational haul of 22 trophies during his time at the club.

Ledley meanwhile responded to the news calling Brown the best midfielder he ever played with.

It is a bittersweet day for the club as a legend signals his intention to depart at the end of the season. However, it is enjoyable watching back at the success that Brown has helped bring to the club and the support. Even if he is going to Aberdeen, he will leave with everyone’s best wishes and hopefully he will depart with a Scottish Cup.
