Scott Brown in Celtic 'best in football' claim as Kris Ajer reveals 'amazing' dressing room attitude

Former Celtic star Kris Ajer insists Scott Brown is still the 'best leader' he's ever met in his career.

The Norwegian defender, who is having a top season with high-flying Brentford in the English Premier League admits playing alongside the former Celtic captain was a privilege and that his character in the dressing room meant everyone had to focus. Brown's legendary Hoops career ended in 2021 with 22 major honours before he took up a position as manager at Fleetwood Town.

Ajer, when asked about big derby games against Rangers ahead of Sunday's Viaplay Cup final, admits the former Aberdeen man would be the coolest head in the locker room. But the 24-year-old, who made over 110 appearances for Celtic and won the treble treble, believes Brown is often misunderstood for his on-field personality.
