You cannot have a rebuild and include scott brown. He is 36 in the summer and has been treading water for the last couple of seasons. In fact if it was not for BR and his coaching staff Scott’s career at celtic would have been over a few seasons ago. Let SB go to another club if he wants to continue playing but in order to move forward we need to move on from SB as a player and captain.

I think SB could have a bit part (an important, high profile bit) but we should not go forward with SB as a focal point.
Transition. That is the key word for me.

If he wants or is invited to stay as a member of coaching staff fair enough but to have him on the playing staff would probably undermine Calum Mc Gregor who will probably be the new captain. I personally feel that if clubs are rebuilding for the future important figures from the old era who don’t have a long or even short term future at club should be moved on. SB has given many years service to club but sentiment should not come into it StrangeAttractions.

Older age means nowt if you are still a good player, and Brown is still a good player. Is this his last season like all the other seasons b4? And as StrangeAttractions says a bit part, that doesn’t mean he has to play every game just the ones he’s needed in. Or we buy a strong leader like him for midfield or defence, as I don’t think CalMac has it at the moment. Not strong enough to get the message over seems too quiet.

SB was a good player box to box combative midfielder does not have the legs for it now. Calmac given the chance without SB presence has it to become a very good captain. With regards to being too quiet its probably in deference to SB influence. If he is only going to play the odd game what happens when it comes to a rangers game or European game? we as fans lambasted Lennon for playing SB in front of soro and turnbull earlier in season. SB playing days are over let’s move on.

Broony’s days are almost over now soon to be a Don, If lucky we lose Moi and not buy him, then the two main midfielders out at the moment can play. Well, when back & out of position but hay ho. They supporters will be happy. Hendo, as we’ve seen, is brilliant Christie has to move back to #10 and no Moi not even as a strike.
