Scott Brown in frank Aberdeen confession as Celtic icon reflects on Pittodrie judgement call

Iconic Celtic skipper Scott Brown has confessed he likely should have called time on his trophy-laden playing career after coming up short in the search of 10 consecutive titles.

The now Fleetwood Town boss endured a rare misstep when he teamed up with close pal Stephen Glass as player/coach in the Granite City. But his double duty didn't pay off as he was stripped of his assistant manager title after Glass was sacked. And successor Jim Goodwin then called time on Brown's stint with the Dons shortly after taking the reins in March of this year.

Now Brown, for the first time, concedes it may have been time to hang up his boots after Rangers and Steven Gerrard denied Celtic a historic run of league triumphs. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: We didn’t win ‘the 10’ at Celtic, and I knew I was wanting to leave. I got that opportunity to go into coaching, to help Stephen Glass in Aberdeen.
