Scott Brown is and always will be a legend at Celtic.
The new Ayr United manager is arguably Celtic’s best captain since the legendary Billy McNeill after he guided the team to a second nine-in-a-row, a Quadruple Treble and an Invincibles Treble.

The new Ayr United manager is arguably Celtic’s best captain since the legendary Billy McNeill after he guided the team to a second nine-in-a-row, a Quadruple Treble and an Invincibles Treble.
Scott Brown’s meeting with Rangers in a car park and how it made him want to join Celtic Brown told the Let Me Be Frank podcast, “I went and met Walter, Ally, and David Murray in a car park in Sighthill in Glasgow, underneath flats, sat in a Land Rover and blethered away to them.
Then, unsurprisingly, Celtic called to request that I speak with them. After Hibs won the bid, they took me to Dermot’s [Desmond’s] home in London via plane.
“I was thinking, this is a little better than Sighthill,” as I was looking.
Tommy Burns’ part in pushing Scott Brown to shun Rangers for Celtic
The former Celtic captain disclosed the letters Tommy sent him to entice him to the east end of Glasgow, thus the late, great Tommy Burns had a hand in Brown’s signing.
Brown went on, “I had a great relationship with Coisty and Walter. and spending that time in Scotland with Tam.
Tommy was messaging, “Wee man come home, you know, you want to come home, come to us, we’ll make sure you’re all right, we’ll build the team around you,” despite the fact that they were having a great time joking about.
“And I got on really well with Strachan in the way we wanted to play, we wanted to build the team around myself, Aiden [McGeady] and all the young players that were there.
“So I just felt like it was the right place at the right time to go to a club that was in the Champions League that was competing all the time
“And to be fair, we performed well in the first two seasons of the Champions League.”
Brown defeated teams like AC Milan, Villareal, and Benfica during his many memorable European evenings at Celtic.
The 5-1 triumphs at Celtic Park and Ibrox during the Invincibles season stand out among the many memorable victories the former Celtic captain achieved over Rangers when he was a member of the team.
Brown, who is now pursuing promotion to the Scottish Premiership with Ayr United, might find himself in the Celtic dugout in the near future, but with an unfamiliar opponent the next season.
