Scott Brown: Celtic captain should ‘grow up’ for the sake of Scottish football in passionate plea by Adrian Durham on talkSPORT
On his Drivetime show, talkSPORT host Adrian Durham made a passionate plea for Scott Brown to ‘grow up’ and use his status to be the force for good Scottish football needs.The Celtic skipper was accused of deliberately winding-up Rangers’ players in the Old Firm derby on Sunday, which ended in a 2-1 Celtic victory.2

Scott Brown got under the skin of Rangers’ players

Alfredo Morelos was sent off for the fifth time this season when elbowed Brown in the face – and the 33-year-old was later punched by on-loan Liverpool winger Ryan Kent.He was also involved in a latetussle with Andy Halliday, which led to the Rangers man also being sent off after he spotted Brown celebrating in front of the visiting fans.

Scottish football has come under the spotlight recently with several incidents of fan violence marring matches.talkSPORT host Durham wants Brown to grow up and be a true role model to all fans.2

Morelos was sent off for an elbow on Scott Brown

At a time when Scottish football is poisoned by hate and violence off the pitch, now more than ever, the game needs true inspirational leaders on the pitch, Durham said.How about Brown, the Celtic captain, who has the fans in the palm of his hand because they love him so much.Why not use that stature as a force of good? Instead of Scott Brown sending out fishing emojis last night on Twitter in a desperate show of immaturity and insecurity, instead of dancing in front of Rangers fans, why not use your brain?

Rise above that nonsense that excites small-minded fools and trolls, to the point where they are stabbing each other, and try and change hearts and minds and change opinions and change the thinking of some of the more ignorant fans out there.In fact, this is my personal plea to Scott Brown. You are arguably the most influential footballer in Scotland right now, Scott. Why not use your position to impact the game positively? Time to put the clown costume away for good. Time to grow up and time for you, Scott Brown, to be a real man and send out messages to fans promoting peace, rejecting sectarianism and rejecting violence and hate. Dont just pay lip-service to it and read out statements prepared for you by the Celtic press officer or wear a t-shirt in the warm-up. Use your position as a force of good and let that be your legacy to the game.Scott Brown, you are 33-years-old, and you are known as an antagonist. You are a dad, Scott. It is time to set the right example and be a true role model. You have the chance now to go down in history as the man who forced Scottish football to change and change for the better.Its up to you Scott Brown. Which path in life are you going to take? Are you going to carry on clowning to please the idiots or be the man Scottish football desperately needs you to be?Scott Brown, its up to you and time is running out. You are 33. Be the big man. Be the man Scottish football needs.
