Scott Brown’s crowning glory at Rangers tipped to win Celtic THIS season’s title

Gordon Strachan has insisted Scott Brown ’s crowning moment as an Aberdeen player might prove to the goal that wins Celtic another title.

Speaking exclusively to Record Sport , Strachan paid a glowing tribute to the Nine in a Row Parkhead skipper after we broke the news online that Brown has terminated his contract at Aberdeen and looks set to hang up his boots for good in order to focus on a career in management.

Brown has quit the Pittodrie club after being told by new boss Jim Goodwin that he would have no role in the club’s coaching team going forward if he did decide to see out the second year of his contract.

But even though the 36-year-old has left before the end of his first season in the north east, Strachan believes his diving header at ibrox - which ultimately earned the Dons a 2-2 draw back in October - could yet prove to be a defining moment as this season’s battle for the title goes down to the wire.

Strachan - who signed Brown for Celtic from Hibs in 2007 - said: “It will be interesting to see what Scott does from here but if you look back at his career there were some great goals, great passes, great tackles. Even this season at Aberdeen he scored that diving header at Ibrox against Rangers. So he’s still helping even now by taking two points off Rangers!
