Gordon Strachan and Michael Stewart have said that Celtic may regret the decision to let captain Scott Brown leave the club at the end of the season. The pair suggested that Celtic’s loss is certainly Aberdeen’s game as the player still has a lot to offer.

Brown won 22 trophies during a trophy-laden spell in Paradise, since he completed a move to Celtic in 2007. In that time, Brown became one of Celtic’s most decorated player, became an Invincible Treble winner as well as racking up the most European appearances for a Celtic player. Brown is expected to make the transition into management and you cannot rule out seeing him in the Paradise dugout at some point, although it will be a shame to see the player leave after this season.

Elsewhere, John Kennedy played down talk of Eddie Howe’s imminent announcement, insisting that he was focused on the job at hand – preparing the team.

Celtic will hopefully record a Scottish Cup Third Round victory over The Bairns as they look to seal their place in the draw tomorrow.
