Celtic legend Scott Brown returned to the dugout last week, taking charge of Scottish Championship side Ayr United. His appointment at Somerset Park was vastly notable.
Throughout his tenure as Head Coach of the Honest Men, Brown’s progress will be watched with eager eyes by many Hoops supporters. There is an overall consensus among the fans that the quadruple-treble-winning gaffer will return to the club one day in some capacity.
On Saturday, though, the full focus for Brown was on Hampden, where his Ayr spell got off to the perfect start. Against Queen’s Park, his men put in an admirable showing, coming away with a vital 2-1 victory.
It was the first win on the road for the side in over two months. This shows the instant impact Brown has made at the club, and he will only look to improve from here on in.
Indeed, the man who is adorned by the Celtic support will ready his team to host league leaders Dundee United next weekend, before travelling to Ibrox in the Scottish Cup seven days later.
Then, Brown has the chance to write his name into the Ayr history books and do his old team a monumental favour in their quest for the double.
