Scott Brown, the illustrious midfielder, was born in Scotland on the 25th June 1985. Standing at an impressive 5ft 8in (1.75m) and weighing a solid 11st 9lb (74kg), Brown primarily commanded the field as a central defensive midfielder. His football journey took off in July 1999, when he joined Hibernian in the Premiership as a trainee. Over the course of his seasons at Hibernian, between 2002 and 2007, he made countless appearances and netted a steady stream of goals.
July 2007 saw a significant turning point in Brown's career when he transferred to Celtic for an approximate amount of £4.4m. Brown, truly a Celtic hero, enjoyed many fruitful seasons at the club. The 2007 - 2008 season saw him making 34 first-team appearances with three goals. Brown's stellar performance continued in the following seasons, as he religiously scored goals in almost every season and maintained a robust presence on the field by featuring in over 20 matches each season.
His tremendous performance and unwavering loyalty to the green-and-white striped jersey were marked by his consistent contributions over the years. Season 2013 - 2014 was a shining year in his career as he made 38 first team appearances and scored two goals.
Yet, his stint ran into trouble in the 2015 - 2016 season, where his netted goals were limited to one and his appearances slightly dipped. However, Brown proved his mettle by soldiering through the dip in form, continuing to make more than 30 appearances each season from 2016 onwards, and contributing a fair share of goals for the club.
Eventually, every story has its end, and so did Brown's time at Celtic. In July 2021, he transferred to Aberdeen, where he has been running the midfield ever since. His first season with Aberdeen saw him make 24 appearances and score two goals. It remains to be seen where his journey takes him after his recent transfer from Aberdeen in March 2022.
Throughout his illustrious career, Scott Brown has been a consistent performer and a crucial presence in the heart of the midfield. His influence on the pitch has been instrumental wherever he has played, especially during his remarkable tenure at Celtic. Brown, without a doubt, will forever remain a cherished part of Celtic's rich footballing saga.
