The one-time Glasgow Rangers ace wrote on Twitter following the possibility of Hoops captain Brown being available for the Old Firm derby at Ibrox.
Celtic captain Scott Brown could be available for the trip to Ibrox to face Old Firm rivals Glasgow Rangers in their penultimate game of the Scottish Premiership season.
This is following news of his Scottish Football Association disciplinary hearing being moved forward by six days at the club’s request, according to the Daily Record.
The 33-year-old Hoops ace was initially due up in front of the panel on Thursday 2 May but the date of the hearing has been changed to Friday 26 April following a request by his club.
Brown was accused by the SFA of “failing to act in the best interests of Scottish football” after celebrating in front of the Rangers fans following his side’s 2-1 derby win on 31 March.
Record Sport Online say the SFA have confirmed to them that Brown’s case would go in front of the Hampden panel next Friday after Celtic requested the hearing be expedited.
The former Scotland skipper faces the prospect of being handed a two-match ban if found guilty but the date being brought forward could make him available for the final Old Firm game of the season.
The change of date to 26 April means Brown would need to be handed a three-game ban to miss that derby between Celtic and Rangers, as the club plays Kilmarnock and Aberdeen before heading to Ibrox.
Following the update, former Rangers midfielder Charlie Adam – now at Stoke City – took to Twitter to make his feelings known:
Adam also responded to a Celtic fan who asked him to elaborate:
Celtic’s first post-split Premiership game is on Sunday 21 April away at Hibernian, while their last league encounter is at home against Hearts on Sunday 19 May, and the latter side will also be the Hoops’ Scottish Cup final opponent six days later.
