Scott Brown breaks Celtic exit silence as departing captain sets himself one last challenge

Outgoing Celtic captain Scott Brown admits he's gutted he can't share his final games with the fans, but wants to deliver them one last trophy.

The 35-year-old will leave the club after 14 years this summer, having agreed to take on a player-coach role at Aberdeen.

Brown was looking to lead Celtic to a historic 10 In A Row but after a difficult season there's only the Scottish Cup left to play for.

The skipper is keen to deliver that trophy for the fans though, particularly given he can't bid farewell in person.

Brown said: "I’m looking forward to playing between now and the end of the season and playing as many games as possible, hopefully getting to another cup final as well.

"I’ve had a 14 fantastic years at this club and I’ve enjoyed every single moment of it.

"It’s been a wonderful career for myself, I’ve enjoyed the moments with the fans but it’s just a pity I can’t share the last remaining games with the fans in the stadium.

"It’ll be emotional times when I do finish up but it’s a fresh start for myself, it’s something I’ve looked to get into and I’m looking forward to the challenge ahead."
