SCOTT BROWN has delivered some insight into his wild time at Fleetwood where he had to navigate through much more than a football team.
The Celtic legend has been out of work since being sacked by Fleetwood earlier this season and has stayed away from a quick return to the dugout.
Notably Brown has been back on social media and seems a bit more at ease with himself and his leisure time – even if most of his posts are about how fast he can run a 5k!
Scott has spent all his life in football. He became a Celtic legend and he was always working towards to the next game and the next goal. Even when he left Celtic Park he gave playing with Aberdeen a go before cutting short his stay up north and heading for the Fleetwood job.
Speaking Broony told the Edinburgh Evening News: he’s finally enjoying some down time “I went straight from playing into management, I didn’t give myself four or five months just to chill.
“I will get itchy feet eventually. When that comes, I’ll throw my name into a few things.”
Brown details how he and his former Ibrox rival Steven Whittaker tried to make things work at Fleetwood under challenging circumstances.
“Steven and me, we knew what we wanted to do,” he added. “We knew we had to make sure the sessions worked – and we planned them inch perfect.
“But nobody tells you there are going to be injuries, that you’ll have people missing – then you’ve got a chairman going to jail!
“We still managed to take the lads to the fifth round of the FA Cup in the first season, the first time that’s happened in the club’s history. We finished 13th in the league and were going from strength to strength.
“Even with injuries at the start of the season, we were still in every single game.
“It was a little bit of a shock when we had to part ways but it’s football, I’ve no problem with that.
“Somebody else comes in, a new chairman sees a different pathway. That happens in football.”
Scott Brown’s Next Move
The former Celtic captain will 100% be back in football before too long, but is his availability something that should peak Brendan Rodgers and Celtic’s interest in the short term.
Brendan Rodgers and Scott have a great relationship from Brendan’s first stint at the club. It was the Irishman that really gave Scott’s Celtic career a shot in the arm and had it not been for Rodgers intervention, we may not be speaking about Broony as the Celtic legend he became.
If Scott is available and fancies it, bringing him into the coaching setup at Celtic feels like a no brainer. He has a love of the club, he has worked under some top managers as well as Brendan, knows the way the manager likes to work and has the drive to push the players to better themselves.
We have guys like Stephen McManus and Darren O’Dea working underneath the first team, Celtic like to employ former players.
Could Scott give us something different at Lennoxtown, absolutely!
