Scott Burns: Possible worrying blow for Celtic and Ange now emerges as offer made

Leicester City have made contact for former Celtic midfielder Scott Brown, The Daily Record’s Scott Burns reports.

Brown officially parted ways with Aberdeen earlier in the week and was swiftly linked with a return to Celtic Park in a coaching capacity.

Reports suggested that the Hoops would be willing to create a coaching pathway for their former captain, possibly in the senior academy and B-team or coaching Celtic’s Under-18 side.

Ange Postecoglou appeared to be open to the former captain returning to Glasgow, however, ex-Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers has already made the first move.

As reported by Burns on Wednesday afternoon, Leicester have made contact with Brown.

Rodgers has reportedly offered the Scot the chance to head down to the Midlands to spend time with him and his coaching staff ahead of a possible move.

It seems as if the Foxes are one step ahead of the Hoops when it comes to offering Brown a new home, which could be a blow for Celtic chiefs.

Postecoglou spoke highly of Brown on Thursday, and a return to Lennoxtown could be a shrewd move as he looks to continue his coaching development.

However, it seems as if he may well be heading down south with Rodgers over the coming weeks, so Celtic may have to play the waiting game when it comes to their club legend’s next move.
