Celtic midfielder Scott Brown is now 34 years old and the club must be thinking ahead to possible replacements for the Hoops legend.
Brown has always played with passion and determination and even though he is ageing, he still gives 100% for the club whenever he steps out onto the pitch.
These Celtic fans on social media have been thinking about who could potentially replace Brown when he decides to retire, and one name was mentioned more than others…

READ CELTIC VERDICT
Kristoffer Ajer proved to be a very popular choice with these Celtic fans and it’s hard to disagree with them.
The Norwegian international has the hunger, passion and desire that mirrors Brown’s, which is was Celtic fans love about him.
Ajer is still only 21 years old so has plenty of time to master Brown’s position at the heart of the midfield. His love for defending and protecting his teammates at all costs means that he is the perfect choice to be the next captain.
However, some fans also felt that Callum McGregor could be the one to step into Brown’s shoes. The Scot certainly has the ability to do so.
That being said, it looks like Brown still has a few years left in the tank, so he will be doing as much as he can to teach the next generation of players in the squad about how to be successful in his position.
