What Scott Brown previously said about becoming future Celtic manager amid recent job links.
Former Celtic captain Scott Brown won’t become St Johnstone manager despite holding talks over the vacancy at McDiarmid Park.
The 39-year-old was considered for the role, but he has chosen to stick with his project at Ayr United, who are currently leading the Scottish Championship.
Ahead of Celtic’s trip to Perth this weekend, Larne manager Tiernan Lynch and Aberdeen coach Peter Leven are now considered among the front-runners for the role.
Ayr has scored 15 goals in their first five second-tier games, exhibiting the offensive mentality the Saints are searching for in their next addition.
The idea of Brown coming back to Celtic as a manager has been around for a while now. After all, he had a tremendous run in Glasgow, helping the Bhoys win 22 championships.
In light of it, the club legend has previously expressed his feelings about returning to the top of the rankings in the future.
What Scott Brown has said about becoming future Celtic manager
Speaking back in April, Brown acknowledged that he would have to prove himself worthy of the Celtic position through his own on-field accomplishments rather than his name. Still, he would undoubtedly seize the opportunity.
“Everyone says that,” he said. I believe that I should focus just on taking care of myself. What I did and how I played at Celtic are all things from the past. Just because you played at Celtic doesn’t mean you get promoted to manager. It is not your place to lead Celtic. You must go work for it.
