Scott Brown: Last News

mum of a brave schoolboy battling leukaemia has shared a touching video to mark one year since he was diagnosed with the killer disease.Vicky Ward compiled the emotional clip a year to the day doctors gave the family the devastating news that their youngest son Ace, six, had blood cancer.Ace first captured our hearts back in March 2020 when we told how he overcame his fear of losing his hair by asking for 'a Broony' , just like his Celtic hero Scott Brown.The video, put together by Vicky, charts his incredible journey from his diagnosis on January 23 last year to his first hospital stay, first dose of chemotherapy and beyond, to the soundtrack of Rise Up by Andra Ray.Proud Vicky said she made the video to raise awareness of the aggressive

Neil Lennon to be replaced immediately as boss.What else would you expect after a defeat to St Mirren which for many Hoops supporters was the last straw.William Hutchison, Aberdeen, said: "I was always hopeful Celtic could claw back the points but after Saturday's defeat I have to admit the title is now for Rangers. We will always have the 12 trophies in four years which is a great achievement but as Frank Sinatra says, 'Now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain.' I hate to say it as Celtic fan but even I can't see a way back."Eddie Easson, Ballingry, said: "Neil Lennon stated he was personally let down by the players.

Scott Brown to Celtic and the skipper believes he wouldn’t have carved out his place in the Parkhead history books if it wasn’t for the outgoing chief executive.The captain is genuinely gutted to see the Celtic supremo calling it a day at the end of the season.Brown sees Lawwell as far more than just the guy who signs the pay cheques, brokers the bonuses or bring in new faces every summer.He sees him as one of the big influences in his career at the club – who has brought a personal touch while also defending Celtic with an iron fist.Brown can list the legacies, the trophies, the training ground, the Euro nights and the cosmetic changes to Celtic Park.But it’s the human side that’s harder to quantify apart from the belief he would not have

Peter Lawwell deserves a statue outside Celtic Park alongside the club greats.The Hoops chief executive announced yesterday his decision to stand down at the end of the season after more than 17 trophy laden years at the helm with SRU chief operating officer Dominic McKay coming in.Lawwell was in charge as the club mopped up 29 major honours, reached the Champions League last 16 three times, built the Lennoxtown training centre and developed the Celtic Way outside Parkhead.The supremo has come under fire as the club’s 10 in a Row hopes crashed this season but Brown has no doubt the departing chief deserves to go down in history.Brown said: “He should have a statue.“Peter’s legacy his huge.

Sign up to the weekly West Lothian Courier newsletter for the latest West Lothian news and sport.When Jaze Kabia completed his move from Shelbourne to Livingston a fortnight ago, the 20-year-old had no idea it was a road that had been travelled before.He also had no idea quite how instant his impact would be with the Lions.Former Republic of Ireland internationalist Wes Hoolahan made the same move from Shels to West Lothian in 2005 before going on to enjoy an impressive career that includes close to 400 appearances in the top two divisions in England and 43 international caps.Kabia made his debut for the Lions in last week's draw with Celtic - and got clipped in the chin by skipper Scott Brown who saw red for the incident.

Celtic's media team, Turnbull said: "Since I came in, Scott Brown has been brilliant with me, having a laugh off the pitch and giving me pointers and tips here and there on the pitch.“It’s helped me a lot."Even when I wasn’t playing he was telling me to bide my time."He’s since been willing me on and supporting me, and I think he’s got a big part to play [in the rest of the season]."The 21-year-old is keen to get back to winning ways as Celtic trail runaway leaders Rangers by 23 points at the top of the Premiership table.Celtic have three games in hand and host bottom of the table Hamilton Accies tomorrow night aiming to end a four-game winless streak, which includes back-to-back draws with Livingston.Turnbull added: “We’ve not had a game

Celtic to 10 In A Row as he was carried shoulder-high around Hampden after lifting the 1975 Scottish Cup.It was a fitting end to the legendary Lisbon Lion captain’s illustrious Parkhead career despite the blow of missing out on the much-coveted league to Rangers that season.McNeill only announced to his team-mates that he would be retiring in the dressing room minutes before Jock Stein’s men went out and beat Airdrie 3-1 to lift the trophy.Now, with Celtic’s second shot at 10 In A Row almost certain to end in a failure, it’s the kind of end Brown would surely settle for now if he hangs up his boots following this campaign.Brown will still be 35 by the time of the Scottish Cup final on May 8 - the same age McNeill was when he retired and

Neil Lennon closer to the brink. A second string Lions line-up held the 10-man Parkhead side to a second draw in just four days at a snow covered Tony Macaroni to leave them still without a win in 2021.

Neil Lennon has been under siege from pundits and punters with short memories.But the incredible flak piled on the Parkhead gaffer still hasn’t put him off his dream of one day being a manager as well.As one of Lennon’s most loyal lieutenants, Brown was always going to leap to the defence of his boss.The captain would run through brick walls for the manager so he’s more than willing to fight back with the pressure cranked up another notch in the aftermath of his lashing out this week at everyone from the First Minister to Andy Walker.Brown accepts Celtic’s position right now is desperate.

Celtic’s squad are all firmly behind Neil Lennon after the boss let rip at the club’s critics.Angry Lenny took aim at First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Sky pundit Andy Walker for their digs over the disastrous trip to Dubai.Brown won’t get dragged in to the political war of words – but he insisted his gaffer was bang on the money in fighting Celtic’s corner.The captain – who like Lennon is back after 10 days in quarantine – said: “We all back the gaffer.

Celtic take on Hibs with half a team and a stand-in manager after their now infamous trip to Dubai ended in disaster. The first hint of uproar came back in November, when the Easter Road club were left "fizzing" after the game was moved back 48 hours to this very Monday night.

Scott Brown could still boss it for another season.But he has revealed the captain has put his future on hold to focus on rescuing Celtic’s 10 In A Row hopes.Brown is in the final six months of his current contract and will turn 36 in the summer. However, there has been no decision made yet whether he plans to continue.Kennedy sees the skipper busting a gut every day in training and on the pitch, and is convinced there is still enough gas in the tank for another campaign.The club legend will have the final say but will put off making the call until the dust has settled on this season.No.2 Kennedy said: “Does he have another year in him? I think he might have.

Neil Lennon admits star man David Turnbull will be tasked with carrying the fight to Rangers but remained coy over Scott Brown's Ibrox role. Ismaila Soro once again turned heads in the heart of the midfield as he grabbed his first goal in green and white during the comprehensive 3-0 win over Dundee United.And now all eyes turn to Ibrox and the starting XI that the Irishman selects for his side's biggest game of the season.Odsonne Edouard grabbed the third but the Irishman had special praise for Turnbull who netted for a third consecutive game.

Celtic on Quadruple Treble day. Leigh Griffiths was not surprised the skipper was into everything and leading from the front at Hampden.

Neil Lennon.This is a man whom most Celtic fans wanted out the door a fortnight ago and who only got to savour the greatest moment of his career because his board of directors refused to bow to them.And there were times yesterday, as his team’s defensive frailties resurfaced to allow Hearts three goals and send the Scottish Cup Final to a penalty shootout that it looked like that decision might backfire on the club.But Lennon’s team got there and some of the huge selection decisions he made were vindicated.Scott Brown came back and was the driving force - his determination to win a header setting up the third goal for Leigh Griffiths - later hailed a ‘genius’ by his gaffer for his prowess in the penalty box.Ryan Christie was restored and

Scott Brown had to be held back by kit man Hugh Hoolighan as the Scottish Cup final ended in aggro.In a pulsating game at Hampden the holders retained their trophy for a fourth consecutive season by winning a dramatic penalty shoot-out after a 3-3 draw with Hearts.That put Brown just three trophies behind the legendary Bobby Lennox as he helped his side to a 22nd triumph.Kris Ajer's spot kick secured a 12th domestic trophy in a row and after such a tense final emotions spilled over at the end.As the Celtic squad celebrated their triumph Brown could be seen remonstrating with the Hearts players and being held back by kit man Hoolighan.Brown grabbed himself an assist for the third Hoops goal as his header fell kindly for Leigh Griffiths to

Neil Lennon will have made a pact with Scott Brown over starting the Scottish Cup Final. The Hoops captain has sat out his side's last two fixtures against Lille and Kilmarnock in favour of Ismaila Soro, sparking intense debate as to whether he should line up against Hearts at Hampden.

Scott Brown would be picked for Hampden merely through sentiment.The Parkhead vice-captain is adamant the 35-year-old still has the aura and a huge role to play in the team.Brown has missed the last two matches against Lille and Kilmarnock, with replacement Ismaila Soro excelling.But manager Neil Lennon is also aware of the experience and big-game nous his skipper possesses as he puts the finishing touches on his starting line-up to face Hearts.McGregor has been hugely impressed by the impact of David Turnbull and Soro over the past 180 minutes.At the same time, though, the playmaker is clear that Brown has had just as big an impact for 13 long years and pointed to his outstanding semi-final display against Aberdeen as proof he’s still a
