Following his selection as captain for the upcoming Celtic Foundation Legends match against Borussia Dortmund, Scott Brown has responded. When the teams play in May to generate money for the club’s philanthropic wing, the manager of Ayr United will once again don the Hoops on the pitch at Paradise.
In an interview with the Celtic website, Brown discussed what it will mean to play for Celtic once more as well as the gift that will be made in memory of Scott’s late sister Fiona Brown to the Dundee Cancer Centre at Ninewell in Dundee.
“My family and I will be thrilled to return to Celtic as the Legends side’s captain. It goes without saying that I spent a significant portion of my career at the team and have many amazing experiences there, so it will be extra meaningful to wear the shirt once more.It will be amazing to line up with so many of your old teammates and other legendary Celtics.
“I would like to thank the Foundation and all of the fans in advance for their support. I am also incredibly honoured that a donation will be made in Fiona’s honour. It means a lot to my family.”In a record deal, Brown left Hibs in the summer of 2007 to sign with Celtic. In his 620 club appearances, the commanding midfielder would score 46 goals and win 22 championships with the Green and White Hoops.
