CELTIC legend Scott Brown is reportedly considering a stunning retirement U-turn by potentially returning as a player to the Scottish Professional Football League.

After retiring as a player and taking up a managerial role at Fleetwood Town in English League One, Brown is currently without a club following his departure from Fleetwood in September.
He’s not played a professional match in over 18 months.
Brown’s son is part of the Spartans’ youth team, and he’s said to be seriously contemplating a playing return, although his primary goal remains to pursue a successful managerial career.
It certainly would be a sensational return if Brown was to pick up his boots again and return to the field.
He’s clearly been looking after himself and did play in the David Gray Testimonial a few weeks back. Although, it would be a big step up to the physically challenging League 2.
