Scott Brown would reportedly be open to a return to Celtic this summer as Brendan Rodgers' No.2.
It comes amid the news that Dermot Desmond is preparing an offer to bring the Irishman back to Parkhead, having persuaded him to meet face-to-face with chief executive Michael Nicholson and chief financial officer Chris McKay in Mallorca. Rodgers is Celtic's top choice to replace Ange Postecoglou and Record Sport revealed on Monday night that Desmond had two phone conversations with the Irishman.
He was leftin no doubt about club’s desire to bring him back to Glasgow and was given reassurances before Nicholson and McKay presentation outlining the current structure in place behind the scenes and emphasising their ambitions to make Celtic more competitive in the Champions League. Rodgers is now considering the pitch and it's reported that he could well return to Parkhead with Brown as his right-hand man.
Current Fleetwood boss Brown broke out on his own a year ago but the Scottish Sun say he has kept in constant touch with Rodgers and it would "massively appeal" to him to be part of his coaching staff at Parkhead. Rodgers is set to lose his long-term assistant Chris Davies who is lined up for the Swansea top job while John Kennedy could follow Postecoglou to Tottenham...leaving Rodgers without a right-hand man.
Brown joining the coaching team would earn Rodgers some brownie points (no pun intended) with a large section of the support who would need winning over after the nature of his 2019 exit for Leicester. And it's claimed he would be "in the frame" to be the new assistant manager if Rodgers needed one.
