Celtic midfielder Scott Brown wants to get into coaching once he retires.

Scott Brown of Celtic is seen during a training session at Lennoxtown on December 29, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Scott Brown has admitted to the Daily Record that he has been in discussion with Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell over eventually taking a coaching role at Parkhead.

Brown wants to get into coaching after he retires from football, and although he has no plans to hang up his boots in the near future, the Celtic midfielder is already making preparations.

Brown says that he has held meetings with both Lawwell and Brendan Rodgers in recent times.

And the Celtic man said that talks have been going well.

“Myself, the gaffer and Peter Lawwell have been chatting and it seems to have gone well,” Brown revealed.

“I am just concentrating on playing right now. I’ll go and do my badges in the summer but I’ll see how long my legs last before I think about moving upstairs. It’s a great honour to be playing at the club for so long and for them to be helping me out with a coaching role.”

Brown has played a key role at Celtic for years now, and since Rodgers has come in he has arguably enjoyed his best ever run of form.

Brown has always shown great leadership skills at Celtic, and he seems to have the characteristics to become a good coach.

Whether Rodgers will still be at Parkhead when Brown does think about stepping into a coaching role remains to be seen, as the Celtic boss has been linked with a move away in recent times.
