SCOTT BROWN has hinted Neil Lennon could be tempted to play two up top next term after seeing the Irishman dabble with the idea with Edouard and Burke.
Speaking about next season, the Celtic captain said there are a lot of options on the table but the one big thing he did admit is he and the players will miss Oliver Burke for his pace which he said helped get in behind opponents when they pressed the team.
“You never know, he (Neil Lennon) might play two up. We tried that option with Odsonne and Burke and Burkey will be a miss, that pace he has to go in behind teams when they’re trying to press you” Brown told CelticTV.
Burke spent the second half of the season on-loan at the club and after an initially promising start under Brendan Rodgers where fans were clamouring for the club to sign the player, the Scottish international fell away under Lennon and was a bit part player.
With his transfer fee likely to be well out of Celtic’s comfort zone that will be the last time we see Oli in a Celtic jersey.
