Alan Brazil has tipped Scott Brown as a possible replacement for Brendan Rodgers.

Celtic have stepped up their management search following Rodgers’ resignation and have been linked with a number of candidates.

Ange Postecoglou is one of many managers available now, but the Australian is unlikely to make a famous return to Parkhead.

Kieran McKenna is under consideration while former Hoops striker Robbie Keane has applied for the job.

Brown’s name has hardly been mentioned, but Brazil thinks there is one thing that the former captain can bring to the table that others can’t.

Alan Brazil thinks Scott Brown would bring the fear-factor back to Celtic

During his playing days, Brown was known for being a brute in the middle of the park, doing anything he can to get the win.

Brazil thinks that extra bit of bite could bring the good times back to Celtic, making him a better option than any of the other candidates.

Speaking on TalkSPORT, he said: “What about Scott Brown? Has he got enough experience, Scott?

“His win record – OK. I don’t want to say it’s only Ayr, but it’s been pretty successful so far. 

“It was a slow start, Ally, and people said: ‘Oh’, but I think the [Celtic] fans would welcome it, wouldn’t they?

“Because Celtic are missing a bit of oomph. They’re missing a bit of get in them.”
