Find how best to use Scott Brown

815
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    Aye, marginally better. Coughing up more blood this morning, so bought some Manuka honey to see if it’ll alleviate the throat issue. Cost me 12 rangers.

     

     

    Hope it works

    Sorry for late reply was playing 5’s for 90 mins, hell.

     

     

    I’m hoping this new deal will spur him on to become the player we know he can be on a weekly basis.

     

     

    One things for sure we have far too many midfielders, good midfielders….and we can’t keep them all happy.

    Gordon J,

     

     

    Only one foul awarded against a team in a competitive football match must be a record.

     

     

    Someone should be on the phone to Norris McWhirter right now.

     

     

    Conroy has excelled himself today.

    Especially when Aluko dived.

    Aye,Kojo…this unjustified vituperation that comes your way frae the denizens o’ the Deep..

     

     

    Sadly,Palomine…Ah fear that the root cause of this shocking intolerance..as with the case of Philvis…is that the Good Lord blessed ye both with Splendid Ginger See-You-Jimmy Barnets !

    LOL the old manuka honey, I keep forgetting to buy it when I’m at the shops. Think it would be good in a dram. Or a dram without the honey, either way works.

    Listening to Radio Manchester earlier. The pundits in the studio are open in their allegiances to Bolton. City, Blackburn or Utd. The pundits are usually the sports journalist from the local paper or ex player.

     

     

    The fans talk to their pundit. There is no pretence of impartiality. There is no hidden agenda. Perhaps Shortbread and Snyde could learn a lesson.

    Haven’t seen it yet, but I can imagine, Conroy will be inducted into the hun MIB hall of fame no doubt.

     

     

    They can’t help it, it’s in their sectarian DNA.

     

     

    The huns of all ilks in scotland are willing to kill their club in the persuit of supremacy over Timmy, how sad is that….

    Gave some to Madi. Thought she’d lap it up. Couldn’t have been further from the truth. Both Pam and Alex refuse to countenance such a notion as eating honey, which is understandable, but I thought this stuff was quite nice.

     

     

    Firing into some vino now :-)

    Two things stand out today.

     

     

    Conroy gave a penalty that he had a clear view of but not one other person thought it was a penalty and he awarded only one free kick against Ragers. I do not think he is corrupt or part of a conspiracy but yet another who knows that it is better to err for Ragers rather than err against them.

     

     

    Wishart has betrayed a confidence of one of his members in a most spectacular way. This was not a slip of a tongue during some conversation but a considered contribution to a broadcast.

     

     

    I have heard him say that the union advises players and negotiates for them but he has spoken in general terms only. Oddly enough, the only exception I can remember was when he spoke of advising Aiden McGeady.

     

     

    I expect to hear little or nothing of these matters in MSM.
