Scott Brown was truly a standout presence during his tenure at Celtic, endearing himself to the fans and becoming a cult hero after making the move from Hibernian in 2007. In an era where unique characters are a rarity, Brown stood out both on and off the field, bringing a level of intensity and bravery that was unmatched. His success at Celtic was a testament to his hard work and determination.

Now, Brown has transitioned from the pitch to the dugout as the manager of Ayr United. In a recent match against Neil Lennon’s Dunfermline, Brown’s Ayr came out on top in a Scottish championship clash that felt like a Celtic reunion, especially with former Rangers midfielder Jamie Murphy scoring for the team.

Murphy, who faced off against Brown in Old Firm matches during his time at Rangers, revealed that Brown was not shy to communicate on the pitch, often critiquing his opponents’ decisions and plays. Despite the banter, Murphy recalls the respect he had for Brown’s ability to control the midfield in high-stakes games.

During his illustrious career at Celtic, Brown racked up an impressive 22 trophies, showcasing his unmatched success on the field. Most notably, he dominated in Glasgow derby matches, securing victory in a total of 26 encounters. Brown’s legacy as a Celtic player remains unmatched, leaving a lasting impact on the club and its fans.
