Shay Logan reignites feud with Celtic hero Scott Brown

Shay Logan appears to have reignited his feud with Scott Brown.

It's no secret that the former Aberdeen star isn't the biggest fan of the Celtic hero.

The pair used to come head-to-head when they met as opposing players during their time at their respective clubs.

Now, the 35-year-old right-back has posed for a photo showing exactly what he thinks of the ex-Scotland captain.

A photo has emerged on social media of Logan delivering two middle fingers toward a photo of Brown in an Aberdeen jersey during his last season as a player.

Only a few months after quitting Aberdeen in 2022, Brown took his first steps into management at Fleetwood Town.

Logan and Brown's exchanges go way back to 2014 when the former was racially abused by Celtic forward Alexander Tonev during a match at Parkhead.

Brown was captain of the Hoops at the time, and he backed up his teammate over the matter.

Disciplinary proceedings took place after Logan accused Tonev of aiming a racial slur at him on the pitch.

The Bulgarian was found guilty and was given a seven-match ban by the Scottish FA.

After signing for Aberdeen two years ago, Brown was asked about the incident. He claimed there was mutual respect between himself and Logan.

He said: “At that time, I stuck up for my team-mate because he [Tonev] swore to me that I didn’t do it, so you’ve got to take his stance on that. To this day, I still don’t know whether he said it or not. It was one person’s word against the other.

"But I’ve got huge respect for Shay. He’s been a fantastic player for Aberdeen over the years, he’s worked extremely hard. We’ve had a lot of battles over the course of our careers, and it’s been enjoyable to be fair. I’m sure he’d say the exact same.”

Logan departed Cove Rangers at the weekend after over 50 appearances for the League One side.
