Scott Brown set for 'proper' Celtic goodbye as legendary captain reunites with Mikael Lustig

Scott Brown is set to return to Glasgow to say a proper farewell to the Celtic fans almost two years to the day that he captained the club for the last time.

Brown, now in charge of Fleetwood Town, after taking his first steps into management, is heading to the city along with former team-mate Mikael Lustig for a night of celebration with the supporters and proceeds from the night will be donated to the Celtic FC Foundation.

The ex Hoops and Scotland captain enjoyed a trophy-laden 14-year career in the east end of Glasgow but it ended in disappointment as Celtic failed to win any silverware in his last season and Brown was also denied the opportunity to say farewell to the fans who were locked out due to Covid.

Lustig left two years earlier with the former Sweden international spending seven years at Celtic, and he will also take to the stage at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on Thursday, May 18, 2023, with tickets on sale to season ticket holders. Tony Hamilton, Chief Executive of Celtic FC Foundation said: “This is set to be an outstanding event, centred around two magnificent characters in our Club’s history in Scott Brown and Mikael Lustig – and I’m excited to see more special guests announced as we approach May 18.

“We are exceptionally grateful to Shaun Ennis, Scott and Mikael for this phenomenal gesture of support to Celtic FC Foundation and it will make a substantial impact on our work as we continue to challenge poverty and promote inclusion, against a cost of living crisis backdrop. Thanks also to every supporter who joins us on the night for what is sure to be a fantastic occasion that will live long in the memory.”
