Former Celtic captain Scott Brown has hilariously revisited his feud with ex-Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos.
The pair enjoyed quite the rivalry while playing for Glasgow’s big two. Brown continually got the better of the Colombian striker, who eventually became somewhat of a laughing stock.
The 39-year-old shared the pitch with Morelos countless times, provoking and winding him up.
They have gone their separate ways since clashing heads in Glasgow derbies, but Brown has recently reflected on their feud.
The Celtic legend branded Morelos as ‘stupid’ given how easy he was to wind up.
“He’d always bite, he fell for it that much that, he was stupid to be fair,” said Brown (Let Me Be Frank Podcast via Football Scotland).
“Honestly, the amount of times I got him sent off… it was just stupidity from him. The game gets you, the atmosphere, it does get you. It does get everybody because it’s brilliant but some people fall into that.”
Brown relished playing in Glasgow derbies throughout his Celtic career.
Whether it be Morelos or El Hadji Diouf, he always seemed to be in a personal battle with an opposition player.
Now manager of Ayr United, though, Brown has matured considerably.
He is flying with the Somerset Park side, who one wouldn’t be surprised to see promoted to the Scottish Premiership by the end of this season.
It says a lot about Brown’s managerial credentials that he turned down the St. Johnstone job last week.
He could have been in the dugout for the Perth side’s clash with Celtic last Sunday although he opted to stay on the coast in a respectable show of loyalty.
