Celtic fans react to calls for Scott Brown to play in three-man defence

Celtic travel to Hamilton Academical on Sunday, with the Hoops looking to secure yet another win to maintain their lead in the Scottish Premiership.

The Hoops have been playing with a 3-5-2 as of late, including during the win in midweek against St Johnstone.

The trio of Jozo Šimunović, Kristoffer Ajer and Christopher Jullien managed to keep a clean sheet in the victory, and should start again as Celtic travel to the Accies this weekend.

However, some Celtic fans have called for a change in system, with one account suggesting that Scott Brown could potentially move into the defence from midfield.

Twitter: I’d hope we can persist with 352 tomorrow. Could we even see Broony as part of the 3? HH https://t.co/Xbsa8uY2IH (@CelticGossip)

However, the call to move Brown didn’t go down that well with a lot of Celtic fans, with many doubting the Scot’s ability to perform when put in the defence.

Twitter: @CelticGossip Why on earth ? We have three fully fit CBS. It would be utter madness (@boon1967)

Twitter: @CelticGossip He was hopeless in the back 3 when he went in there on Wednesday night (@Stephen24669)

Twitter: @CelticGossip We don’t even have 3 fit CB’s 😂 (@AndrewB13759737)

Twitter: @CelticGossip Not for me, gives away too many fouls and a big risk at the back . (@eskbankbhoy)

Twitter: @CelticGossip We would need a third good centre half. If only there was some mechanism to improve the team mid season. (@haughey_william)

Twitter: @CelticGossip Definitely hope not. Stupid managerial decision if that’s what he is planning (@barrynixon1980)
