Celtic currently sit comfortably at the top of the Scottish Premiership table.

Celtic skipper Scott Brown sat down for an exclusive interview with Celtic TV, and explained how his side’s mid-season training camp in Dubai really helped spur on him and his teammates.

Since the Hoops returned to action after the winter break they have won nine and drawn on of their 10 Scottish Premiership outings, and they now hold a 10 point lead over second placed Rangers.

Celtic play host to their bitter rivals in the Old Firm derby on Sunday, and a win at Parkhead would put them in an incredibly strong position from which to win their eighth consecutive league title.

Brown spoke exclusively to Celtic TV, and shared something that he believes played a key role in his club’s turn in fortunes after the winter break:

“We came back from Dubai and had a good wee mini pre-season under Brendan and the lads and it spurred us on for the last half of the season.”

Brown himself has been instrumental as ever for Celtic this season, and he will be relishing Sunday’s clash against Rangers, where his team have a great opportunity to end their bitter rival’s faint hopes of winning the league this season.
