He was Celtic’s captain, leader and legend. Now, after nearly 14 years with the club, Scott Brown is set to leave Paradise at the end of this season to take up a new role as player/assistant manager with Aberdeen.

He will leave Celtic with the enormous gratitude and best wishes of everyone associated with the club for everything’s done in the green and white Hoops since joining back at the start of the 2007/08 season from Hibernian.

Since then, he has gone to establish himself as a legend of the club. To date, he has made 613 appearances for Celtic. Indeed, only six men have played more times for the club in its entire 133-year history.

He has won a host of silverware during his time with the Hoops – 10 league titles, 6 Scottish Cups and 6 League Cups – most of it as captain, making him one of the most successful captains in Celtic’s history.

He was given the armband in January 2010 and did not relinquish it from then on, as a succession of managers put their trust in him as the on-field leader. He never let them down.

His first trophy success came in 2008, at the end of a dramatic first season at Celtic, with Gordon Strachan’s side winning their last seven league games to clinch the title on an emotional night at Tannadice, the decisive game coming just days after the sad passing of Hoops legend, Tommy Burns, who was first-team coach at the time.

Tommy had also been a strength and support to Scott during a difficult personal time for him, as was everyone at the club, with the loss of his sister, Fiona that same year.

Scott’s trophy success over the past few years has seen some incredible moments for Celtic supporters to save. Most notably, in leading the team to nine league titles in a row, he also captained the side which created football history by winning four domestic trebles in a row. The Quadruple Treble will take its place amongst Celtic’s greatest triumphs.
