Scott Brown’s standards as a Celtic player never slipped.
The former club captain was always demanding, gave 100 percent and expected nothing less than that from every teammate he stepped onto the pitch alongside which resulted in helping towards Celtic’s incredible trophy haul.
The Celtic icon has not changed since he retired, either, and is the exact same as a manager as Ayr United’s squad are finding out this season. The Championship side sit second in the division to Falkirk by just three points and Brown has turned them into winners.
It has been a terrific campaign for Brown and he will hope his new loan player from Celtic Park can help his side progress further.
Josh Clarke says Scott Brown has same standards as Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers
Goalkeeper Josh Clarke arrived at Somerset Park to answer an SOS call from his new boss who was short on stoppers for the title run-in. He started in their 3-2 win at Queen’s Park and on signing he immediately explained why he fancied working under Broony as gaffer.
Clarke is used to the expectation of winning as a player at Celtic and, just like Brendan Rodgers, that is the mindset Brown has as a boss and he wants it from his players.
So the 20-year-old fit right in. “I hadn’t played since pre season, which funnily enough was against Ayr at Somerset,” he told Ayrshire Live, having been on loan previously with the Honest Men. “But when you train with the best players around, it prepares you really well for what’s ahead of me now.
