Between 2007 and 2021, the former captain of the Hoops played more than 580 times for the team, earning 22 titles in the course of the 14-year tenure and emerging as Scottish football’s pantomime villain.
Since then, the 38-year-old Brown has given up coaching and is the head coach of Championship team Ayr United. But in May, he will make a unique appearance on the Parkhead field as he captains a side of Celtic greats against a team of Borussia Dortmund greats.
The goal of this charity event, which will be held in Celtic’s home stadium for the first time since 2018, is to raise significant money to benefit those in need. In addition, a donation to the Dunee Cancer Centre, located at Ninewells Hospital, will be made in honor of Brown’s sister Fiona, who passed away from the illness in 2008 at the age of 21.
Brown commented, “It’s going to be emotional for myself,” about the occasion. The last time I really put the Hoops on was a long time ago. Being a club captain and being a member for such a long time was an honor for me.
“The way they’re holding this game is fantastic for the foundation as well. Not just in Glasgow, but to a great many people worldwide, it holds immense significance. They carry out a ton of amazing tasks and initiatives.”
Brown has emphasized the significance of the cause and asked all Hoops fans to show up in force for the game.
He grinned, “Please don’t judge!”The more individuals that attend, the more connections the foundation creates, and the more people they can assist in Glasgow and around the globe, the more incredible it will be.
Since I haven’t worn my strip and performed at Celtic Park in a long time, I think it would be incredible to see all the fans as well. I have a ton of amazing memories and experiences from my time playing with other people. It will be nice to play again with some of the players I’m traveling with.”
