Brown for Fleetwood

FORMER Celtic and Scotland captain Scott Brown has been appointed the new Fleetwood head coach.

Brown last week announced the end of a 19-year playing career in which he won 22 domestic trophies with Celtic, whom he left at the end of last season to take up a player-coach role at Aberdeen.

Capped 55 times by Scotland, he left Pittodrie following the departure of manager Stephen Glass in February and is now set to embark upon his first managerial role with Sky Bet League One Fleetwood.

“I’m delighted to have been named head coach at Fleetwood Town,” Brown said.
