Scott Brown winds up old Celtic pal with 'magnif' hair quip

Scott Brown played with too many fellow teammates at Celtic for him to remember. 

It's to be expected after playing for the Scottish Premiership giants for 14 years between 2007 and 2021.

One man he remembers well though is Greg Taylor.

His old teammate joined the Hoops from Kilmarnock in the summer of 2019 for around £1m.

And he went on to win league titles, Scottish Cups and League Cups with Broony before he eventually left this summer.

The Scotland left-back departed Glasgow for Greece, as he joined PAOK on a free transfer following the expiry of his contract at Celtic.

Taylor appeared on BBC Scotland's coverage of the national team last night after Steve Clarke's side defeated Belarus 2-0. 

Next up in World Cup qualifying for the Scots is a home game against Greece in October.

Billed as a Greek football correspondent by the Beeb, Taylor appeared via video link to talk to Broony, Neil McCann and Jonathan Sutherland in the studio.

The clips starts with presenter Sutherland introducing Greg. He says: "I'm sure Scott, you've plenty to say to Greg. It's probably the first time you've seen him since he moved to Greece."

Broony then came in on the charm offensive, with his usual sarcastic humour on display. 

He responded: "Yeah, definitely. Greg, how you doing wee man? You okay?"

Taylor told his old captain he was all good, before Brown continued. 

He added: "Aye, it's fantastic to see you've got a great tan out there pal. 

"You're looking magnif. Those curtains as well, spot on. Always looking magnif."
