Celtic icon Scott Brown was once again present at a Celtic match, this time taking on punditry duties for Sky Sports as the Hoops faced Kilmarnock in the SPFL on Sunday.
The legendary ex-Celtic player has been without a managerial role since his departure from Fleetwood Town earlier in the season, sparking speculation about his next career move. Amongst the fanbase, there’s a growing curiosity: could we see Scott Brown return to Celtic in a significant backroom capacity?

This conjecture gains further relevance in light of recent developments. Celtic’s manager, Brendan Rodgers, has confirmed that first-team coach Harry Kewell may soon leave the club to assume the managerial reins at Yokohama Marinos.
Such a departure would necessitate the appointment of a new coach. This situation raises an intriguing question: Is Scott Brown the right candidate to fill this impending vacancy?
Many supporters would undoubtedly relish Brown’s return to the club in a coaching role. However, appointing him as Kewell’s successor may not be the most logical choice. Kewell’s focus has been on coaching attacking midfielders and wingers, an area that doesn’t align with Brown’s known expertise.
Should Kewell’s move to Yokohama Marinos materialise, it will be fascinating to see Celtic’s approach to filling the void – whether they opt for an external hire or promote from within.
There has been talk of a managerial job at Queens Park for Scott, perhaps he’s best cutting his teeth away from Celtiic
