Tam McManus says Scott Brown is carrying an injury

March 9, 2020

Former Hibs player Tam McManus has stated Scott Brown has an injury.

The Scottish football pundit told Off The Ball at the weekend that Brown is “carrying a knock”.

McManus also revealed that the Hoops captain is getting treatment for it.

Presenter Tam Cowan joked about Brown’s less than stellar performance against FC Copenhagen.

McManus jumped to his friend’s defence stating that he isn’t 100% fit.

He said: “He’s actually carrying a knock and he is taking injections…he’s struggling with an injury just now.”

Brown later went on to play the full 90 minutes against St Mirren at the weekend.

The Hoops won 5-0 and there appeared to be no sign of a problem with the Hoops number eight.

But fans will remember Brown having to come off against Copenhagen in the away leg due to injury.

However, McManus’ comments do pose a few questions, if Brown is continuing to take injections for his injuries.

Is the Hoops captain going to call it quits in the summer if he continues to pick up these niggling injuries?

Will his performance against Rangers on Sunday be effected when it comes to the dirty side of the game in fear of making his injury worse?

Only Brown will know how he feels going into these games towards the end of his career.

But, if these niggling injuries continue, Brown might think to hang the boots up to get proper treatment and healing time on his ailments.
