Celtic midfielder Scott Brown has been linked with a move to the USA in recent times.

Brendan Rodgers’ praise for Celtic midfielder Scott Brown in the Daily Record surely shuts down any suggestions that he could leave in January.

Brown has recently been linked with a move to MLS in the Scottish Sun.

However, Rodgers has spoken very highly of the combative midfielder, who is due to return from injury for Celtic in the near future.

Rodgers said: “Browny is a big part of that, no matter how much people want to write him off and wither him away.

“It was like when I first came in and people wanted to write him off.

“He is absolutely a very important part for us and it will be the collective that will win us things and he will play.

“He might have to come out, like anyone else, but what the past seven weeks have shown is what our ethos is about – it is about the team and the team has functioned well.”

Celtic have coped very well without Brown, with Callum McGregor stepping into his role.

The Bhoys seem to be back to their best after what was a slow start to the season.

But Rodgers has always been a huge admirer of Brown, and has only spoken positively of the experienced midfielder so far.

And if there were any doubts over whether Brown would leave Parkhead in January, Rodgers has surely put the questions to bed with his latest comments.
