Find how best to use Scott Brown

815

Neil Lennon will be delighted to have secured his captain, Scott Brown, on a new long-term contract which sees the player tied to the club until after his 30th birthday in 2015, with the club having an option to extend the deal by a further 12 months.

Scott joined Celtic in 2007 and played central midfield until last season, when he was occasionally used wide right, to great effect.  Reflecting some of the conversations we had earlier this week with Georgios Samaras, who has recently been a revelation wide-left after years of frustration as part of a front pairing, Scott seemed to revel in the space the wider position allowed him to exploit.

Before joining Celtic Scott made his name playing almost as an auxiliary striker at Hibernian, where he would burst into the box with well-timed runs but at Celtic he is more commonly anchored in a defensive midfield role.  As a consequence, despite having played more games for Celtic than Hibs, and playing for a team who attack far more often, he has still to match his Hibs goals scored total at Celtic.

  1. CultsBhoy hates being 2nd on

    The best thing for CQN/ Celtic to do is ignore the Huns – 100% focus on Celtic is all that is required – we need to win our games and that will be enough – simples!

    Cheers for the link to their ‘ penalty ‘.

     

     

    It should come as no surprise to us that the ‘ honest mistakes ‘

     

     

    will raise the ugly heads every TIMe we are close.

     

     

    The always have done and they always will do.

     

     

    Bring it on.

     

     

    This year we will be champions.

     

     

    Hail hail

  4. The huns penalty.

     

     

    Only in Scotland.

     

     

    Didn’t there used to be someone at the SFA who was very outspoken about stamping out simulation?

     

     

    I can’t recall his name though I seem to remember he had to resign his post to look after his ageing parents.

     

     

    Does anyone know his name and whether he’s back in the game now? We could certainly do with his forthright condemnation of today’s piece of blatant cheating.

  5. nafos posted a good link on his FB account…

     

     

    bloody disgrace….both diver and ref should be kicked oot..

  6. i find this rf stuff so depressing, you start out dis-believing, then slowly as you actually watch Celtic you start to see it, and then when you reach your 40’s your entirely convinced – and, sadly, used to it.

    who was the ref and does he have form?

     

    ——————————–

     

    Nice one,does a Scotch ref have form ?

     

    DIRTYCHEATINGMASONICBASSAS,…….I rest my case.

  9. South Of Tunis on

    Still Inter 0 —–Udinese 1

     

     

    Udinese missed a penalty ——- that is 2 Di Natale has missed this season .

     

     

    Then Inter missed a penalty .

     

     

    Now in extra time.

  10. Udinese beating Inter 1-0 in San Siro concede a dubious penalty with 3 minutes left. After Udinese miss a penalty.

     

    Yellow card unfairly to defender.

     

    Pazzini slips as he takes penalty and skies it into the Alps.

     

    Defender shown a second yellow and sent off.

     

    Udinese playing out stoppage time with 10 men.

     

    Our game next week will be tough.

     

    Final score Inter 0 1 Udinese.

     

    Udinese joint top with AC.

    I did answer mate. It was my works Christmas night out in the Thistle Hotel.

     

    Sadly no one else was drinking red wine so on top of copious amounts of Guinness, I did my best to get through the remaining 4 bottles.

    Only having a couple as nout else has worked.

     

     

    Had a look back on the last thread. Saw that I posted this morning. Nae recollection :))

  15. I predict this – for tomorrow’s game against Dundee Utd

     

     

    They will score first, we’ll equalise and then we’ll win 1-3

  16. South Of Tunis on

    Udinese won . Udinese were the better team .

     

     

    Udinese joint top with Milan .

     

     

    If Juve beat Cesena tomorrow [ which they should ] then they will be top.
