# Celtic: Fans hail Scott Brown for his performance in Old Firm

**Celtic midfielder Scott Brown was commended by a number of the club’s supporters for his performance in yesterday’s [2-0 win](https://www.skysports.com/football/rangers-vs-celtic/report/411242) in the Glasgow derby.**

After the match, the [Hoops captain](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-brown/profil/spieler/12688) saluted [goalscoring team-mates Odsonne Edouard and Jonny Hayes](https://www.skysports.com/football/rangers-vs-celtic/report/411242) on Twitter while adding tongue-in-cheek that he will now have a few days of downtime with the upcoming international break ([via @ScottBrown8](https://twitter.com/ScottBrown8/status/1168217819697184768)).

> Great result today. Great goals by o.edouard\_18 [@jonnyhayes7](https://twitter.com/JonnyHayes7?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw). Hope all the lads enjoy the internationals coming up while i have a wee holiday [https://t.co/GxyTkJD7kw](https://t.co/GxyTkJD7kw)

The 34-year-old has been [capped 55 times by Scotland](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-brown/profil/spieler/12688), [making his senior debut back in 2005](https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/4420348.stm), and after briefly [retiring from the international scene](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37161459) in 2016 prior to [making a comeback](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/37796525), he [retired from the national team indefinitely](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43196946) in February 2018.

Three of Brown’s Celtic team-mates will report for duty with Steve Clarke’s Scotland squad this week, with Ryan Christie, James Forrest and Callum McGregor all included. \[[via ScottishFA.co.uk](https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/steve-clarke-names-squad-for-crucial-home-double-header/)\]

The Hoops’ next match takes place on Saturday September 14th when they travel to face Hamilton in the Premiership. \[[via CelticFC.net](https://www.celticfc.net/fixtures/first)\]

These Celtic fans hailed Brown’s performance against Rangers and felt that the captain’s upcoming mini-break is well deserved:
