Scott Brown in the hunt for Raith Rovers job as Celtic icon eyes first step into management

Scott Brown has thrown his hat into the ring for the managerial vacancy at Raith Rovers.

The former Celtic captain has been without a club since leaving Aberdeen in March where he had been working as player assistant-manager prior to the sacking of Stephen Glass.

Brown parted company with the Dons after new manager Jim Goodwin relieved him of his additional duties, with the former Scotland midfielder opting to pursue other opportunities in coaching.

The 36-year-old is keen to take his first step into management, and has informed Raith of his interest in the role vacated by John McGlynn, who left the Kirkcaldy club this week in order to take over the reins at Falkirk, along with his assistant Paul Smith.

Raith finished fifth in this season's Championship, narrowly missing out on reaching the promotion play-offs for the second year running.
