Hibernian manager Neil Lennon speaks highly of Celtic midfielder Scott Brown.
Lennon managed Brown when he was the Celtic manager from 2010 until 2014.
“Broony had a brilliant season last year and started this season really well for club and country,” Lennon told Capital City Press. “I think he’s under-rated, in terms of his footballing ability.
“People talk about the gallusness and aggression. But Broony can really play, he can really handle the ball.
“He’s a fantastic athlete and a great presence on the pitch, as well. He has matured. You do that with age and he’s looked after himself really well, is in great condition.
“He’s a huge figure in that team not just because of his personality. but because of the player he is.”
Brown is one of the best players in the Scottish Premiership and has been superb for Celtic over the past few years.
The Scotland international has been on the books of the Glasgow giants since the summer of 2007 when he joined from Hibernian for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £4.4 million.
Despite being 32 years of age, Brown remains one of the best players for Celtic and is going as strong as ever.
Hibernian will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Celtic away from home at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership.
Celtic are going strong in the Scottish Premiership and should be able to pick up all three points against Hibs.
Brendan Rodgers’s side are also playing in the group stage of the Champions League this season.
