Scott Brown was in action for Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic against Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership this past weekend.
During the match between Celtic and Aberdeen at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon, Brown – who has been on the books of the Bhoys since the summer of 2007 when he joined from Hibernian for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £4.4 million – snatched Aberdeen boss McInnes’s note on tactics from Graeme Shinnie’s hand.
The 33-year-old former Scotland international midfielder then pretended to read the note before handing it to his manager Brendan Rodgers, who threw it away without reading it.
Aberdeen boss McInnes has made fun of Brown regarding the incident, as quoted in The Daily Record.
The Daily Record quotes McInnes as saying about Brown: “I could say something but I won’t. But what I will say is he ran straight to his manager, didn’t he?
“Like all good wee boys. To be fair what was written on the paper was not anything which was complicated.”
Title challenge
Celtic’s win against Aberdeen is a massive boost to the Hoops’ chances of winning the Scottish Premiership title yet again this season.
The Glasgow giants are now six points off the pace, and one should not be surprised if Rodgers’s side carry on winning for a while.
