Celtic midfielder Scott Brown has built himself up a reputation for being the club’s resident ‘Mr.Tough Guy.’
It was the hard-tackling, no-nonsense midfielder who stood out as the Hoops braved the Russian weather ahead of their second leg clash with Zenit St Petersburg.
Zenit’s official club Twitter account joined in with the fun, sharing a joke with the Celtic midfielder, who they claim is now their ‘favourite Scotsman’.
Twitter: It’s -11° С in #SaintPetersburg and @ScottBrown8 has just become Russia’s favourite Scotsman #Respect #OneOfUs… https://t.co/2PGab3YZBz (@fczenit_en)
Brendan Rodgers men face Zenit in the second leg of their Europa League clash on Thursday night, taking a slender 1-0 advantage into the clash.
Callum McGregor’s late goal at Celtic Park put the Hoops in the driving seat ahead of Thursday night’s game.
Rodgers’ side prepared for the game with a 0-0 draw at home to St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership last weekend.
