Scott Brown reveals first thing he’d do as Celtic boss

Scott Brown is a Celtic man through and through.

Since joining from Hibernian in 2007, the midfielder has kept a solid grip on his spot in the starting lineup.

Named captain in 2010, Brown has worn the armband for nearly eight years at Parkhead now, and it’s not out of the question to consider that the Dunfermline-native might one day take to the dugout at Celtic as manager.

Quoted by the Daily Record, Brown said:

Whether it’s now or 10 years ago, to be a good manager you need a bit of both. You take a bit from every manager you work with when you go down that road.

I’m watching games differently and I’ve started taking notes. Although there are lots of spelling mistakes!

Eager to explore a career in coaching once his playing days are over, Brown has already done work with the Celtic youth academy at Lennoxtown.

Speaking of first-team coach John Kennedy, Brown said:

You need to become a coach before you become a manager. You can’t just jump in with both feet. I look at John [Kennedy], he’s done it the right way.

He started as a scout, was on the computer and doing bits and bobs then out watching games, doing his licence and he got his chance under Ronny Deila.

He’s really kicked on and has been great for the manager and for us. You can talk to Kendo about how to put on a session and he’s really helped me going through my B Licence. He’ll be a great help when it comes to my A as well.

The box-to-box threat then revealed what he would do first if he was ever lucky enough to be named Hoops boss:

 How would I deal with [Scott] Brown the player? I’d give him a new six-year deal! That would be the first thing I would do.
