According to The Glasgow Evening Times, Scott Brown will be fit for Celtic’s Scottish Premiership game against Hibernian this weekend.

Celtic will take on Hibernian at Celtic Park in the league on Saturday afternoon, and star midfielder Brown is reportedly expected to be fit for the clash.

The 33-year-old midfielder has missed the Hoops’ last two matches with a hamstring injury.

Encouraging update

Brown is one of the best midfielders in the Scottish Premiership, and his potential return for the match against Hibernian is very encouraging for Celtic.

Hibs are a strong team, and Neil Lennon’s side will fancy their chances of picking up at least a point against Celtic at Celtic Park.

If Brown is fit and starts the match, then Brendan Rodgers’s side will have a great chance of winning against Hibs.

Interestingly, Brown has been linked with a move away from Celtic, with Australian club Western Melbourne prepared to sign the 33-year-old former Scotland international, according to The Daily Mail.

Brown has been on the books of the Bhoys since the summer of 2007 when he joined from Hibernian for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £4.4 million.
