Finally, There’s Scott Brown And The Continuing Campaign Against Him.
The whole of this season has been one attack on Scott Brown after another.
The media knows that Brown is the beating heart of the Celtic team, and I don’t expect that the attacks on his record or his temperament will end whilst he’s in a Celtic shirt.
He missed the last league game because of suspension; he is now a target for referees and this was not helped when Craig Levein was allowed to accuse him of cheating. The SFA should have carpeted the Hearts boss for that, but of course they didn’t.
That was the nudge and wink from their offices.
It is open season on our captain.
He will be under the microscope for every tackle, and all the while clubs will continue to kick us off the park, and in particular Kieran Tierney.
I wrote about this last week, the way refs allow our players to be rough-housed all over the pitch … the flipside of that is that Brown is watched like a hawk and not just by the officials, but by a media that’s dying to see someone else holding the league championship trophy when this season comes to an end.
Their strategy is transparent.
