Mikael Lustig in hilarious Celtic tribute to Scott Brown as Swede dons disguise before dropping Aberdeen quip

Former Celtic defender Mikael Lustig has sent departing captain Scott Brown a hilarious tribute ahead of his final game at Parkhead.

Brown will take the huddle in Glasgow's east end on Wednesday night before a swan song at Hibs on Saturday.

After that he'll head north to link up with Aberdeen to bring an end to 14 years at the club.

Lustig was one of his most trusted on-field deputies with the pair lifting the Scottish Cup together in 2019, the Swede's final game before his departure.

And he pretended to be his ex-captain, wearing what appeared to be a bandage over his head to mimic Brown's shaven look with a pair of shades to boot.

In a video posted on the club's Twitter page, he began: "This is Scott Brown, hail hail!

"Today I play my last game at Paradise, eh.

"Unfortunately my best friend and the best player I ever played with, Mikael Lustig, won't be here eh..."

At that moment, however, Lustig removed his disguise and launched into a more heartfelt message.

And he joked there's "no way" he's travelling all the way up to the Granite City for a reunion.

Lustig continued: "Nah I'm just joking, it's the big Swede!

"Hello Broony, it's your boy Mikael Lustig here. First of all I just want to thank you for what you've done for me during my years at the club.

"You've been such a role model from day one. You always set the standard, 100 per cent in every training and every game.

"It's been a pleasure to share the same dressing room as you.

"You're by far the most influential player during my career, and I wish you all the best.

"I hope to see you soon in Glasgow or Edinburgh, because there's no way I'm going up to Aberdeen to see you there.

"I love you, you know that, I hope see you soon."
