# Celtic: Scott Brown could make return

**Former Celtic captain Scott Brown could be offered a return to Parkhead, according to [The Scottish Sun’s David Friel](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/8540521/scott-brown-offered-emotional-return-celtic-aberdeen/).**

### The Lowdown: Aberdeen exit

The 36-year-old left Parkhead last summer to join Aberdeen on a two-year player-coach deal. He was brought in alongside Stephen Glass, however, Glass was [sacked](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11789/12540837/aberdeen-sack-manager-stephen-glass-following-scottish-cup-exit-while-allan-johnston-leaves-queen-of-the-south) by The Dons last month.

Brown initially stayed at Pittodrie but left the club on [Tuesday](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11789/12560821/scott-brown-leaves-aberdeen-to-pursue-coaching-career-after-eight-months-at-pittodrie) to ‘focus on his coaching development’, which could take him back to Celtic Park.

### The Latest: Late-night news

Friel shared a story on [The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/8540521/scott-brown-offered-emotional-return-celtic-aberdeen/) late on Tuesday evening, suggesting that Celtic would be willing to create a coaching pathway for Brown in Glasgow.

The midfielder hasn’t ruled out continuing his playing career but Friel has claimed there could be a role in the senior academy and B-team, while Celtic are also on the lookout for a new coach for their Under-18 side.

### The Verdict: Interesting

[Reports](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scott-brown-could-offered-celtic-23331318) elsewhere have suggested there is potential for Brown to join former Hoops manager Neil Lennon after he recently took up the post at Omonia Nicosia in Cyprus.

However, a return to Glasgow less than 12 months after leaving would certainly be interesting. The ex-captain never worked under Ange Postecoglou, but you’d expect the manager will know all about Brown.

A move to work within the academy could be a shrewd one, but it seems as if Brown could have multiple playing and coaching offers on the table over the coming weeks.
