Celtic midfielder Scott Brown has been an integral player at Parkhead since Neil Lennon took charge.

Callum McGregor has raved about Celtic midfielder Scott Brown in the Scottish Herald.

Brown has been in excellent form for Celtic since Neil Lennon took charge, with the 33-year-old being made an integral figure again.

And McGregor still loves learning from Brown at Parkhead, as he feels the experienced midfielder is brilliant.

“He’s an incredible player and he has been for a decade or more at Celtic and before that as well,” McGregor said of his teammate.

“He just seems to have that knack of knowing what to do, and he just seems to wind people up for whatever reason!

“I’d rather speak about his footballing ability and how good a captain and leader he is for us boys. To have him beside you is a massive positive.

“To play alongside him, you have to learn off him as well, and take all of those bits from his game and bring them into your own game to improve yourself too.”

Brown’s importance to Celtic did drop at one stage this season, when Brendan Rodgers seemed to take him out of their starting line-up.

Brown was even linked with a move away from the Bhoys, with a move to America touted in the Daily Mail, and Rodgers suggested he would not stand in the Scot’s way, if he wanted to leave.

However, the combative midfielder stayed and Lennon is now reaping the benefits.

Celtic are still on course to win their third treble in a row this campaign, and Brown looks set to play a crucial role until the end of the season.

Celtic are next in action against Kilmarnock on Saturday.
