Scott Brown has revealed Ange Postecoglou told him to take a lap of honour at Celtic Park while he was at Aberdeen.
The former Hoops skipper pulled down the curtain on a trophy-laden career at Celtic in 2021 before joining the Dons as a player/coach. Brown won 22 major honours with the Parkhead club but many feel the Scot never got a fanfare send-off due to Covid restrictions on fan numbers as he left Glasgow. He did return in Aberdeen colours however.
And the now Fleetwood Town gaffer, who left just prior to the arrival of Postecoglou, admits he would have loved to be part of the Aussie's system but not at the twilight of his career. He also believes it would not have been right to take the adulation of the Celtic support while representing another club.

He said: “If I could steal a couple of his players I’d rather have that if possible! He was fantastic with me when I came back to Celtic Park with Aberdeen. He said to walk around the stadium and go and take the applause that you are due.
“That’s not for me doing that with another strip on. But even small details like that and other managers I’ve spoken to speak really highly of him as well.
“Would I have enjoyed playing for Ange? I think I would have. I’m not so sure I would enjoy playing for him at 37! I’d be struggling to keep up with the lads, that’s for sure.”
