THROWING OBJECTS NOT ON SAYS BROWN

-

CAPTAIN Scott Brown has warned of potential injuries to Celtic players from fans throwing missiles at away games.

The midfielder made light of objects launched during the 1-1 draw with Motherwell at Fir Park on Wednesday night which extended the Hoops unbeaten domestic run to 66 games by saying: “I made a pound again, I’m getting good at this game.”

However, the Scotland skipper was serious about what he says is a growing issue when the Ladbrokes Premiershi­p leaders are on their travels.

Brown had previously spoken about missiles thrown during the game against Rangers at Ibrox last April and against Linfield in Belfast in July, and believes someone in green and white will eventually get hurt.

He said ahead of tomorrow’s home game against Motherwell: “There is a l ot of talk about decisions but people are getting hit with coins and stuff thrown at them pretty much every week j ust because we are doing so well in the league and the away fans don’t like that.

“We’ve understood it’s part and parcel of when you go away.

“Leigh Griffiths is hitting corners, he’s getting things thrown at him. You go and take a corner and you have to look over your shoulder to see what’s coming.

“Fans can shout and sing whatever they want but they can’t be t hrowing things, it’s not showing a great example, is it?”
