Scott Brown is on the verge of agreeing a deal to move to Aberdeen this week where he will become Stephen Glass’ No.2.
The Celtic skipper held talks with Pittodrie chairman Dave Cormack and he and former Hibs team mate Glass are expected to be confirmed in the next 48 hours.
Record Sport understands Glass was officially interviewed for the position last week and Brown will also be unveiled as part of a managerial dream team after opting to bring the curtain down on his Parkhead career at the end of this season following 14 years at the club.
The 35-year-old has been offered a new one-year deal to stay on in Glasgow’s East End and help with a huge summer rebuild.
But, with no certainty as to the identity of the next Celtic boss, Brown has been convinced the next chapter of his career lies in the North-East.
It’s understood he verbally agreed to make the move during talks with Cormack after putting on a man-of-the match display in Sunday’s Old Firm showdown.
Glass wants the veteran to lead his Aberdeen team on the park while also offering him a fast-track into management as his right hand man in the dugout.
Brown, who turns 36 in June, has won a total of 10 league titles over his time at Parkhead as well as lifting the League Cup on six occasions.
He will hope to add to his glittering haul by picking up a seventh Scottish Cup in May before bowing out to begin a new challenge at Pittodrie.
