Rodgers backs Scott Brown to bag Celtic backroom role after retirement

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers feels club-captain Scott Brown could be associated with the Hoops even after he calls quits on his professional career. The former Liverpool boss has backed the 32-year-old to follow in the footsteps of Neil Lennon and become a future head coach at Parkhead.

Brown will chalk up a landmark against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night as he will have served 10 years with the Scottish champions. The veteran is also expected to mark his 68th outing in the Champions League in midweek, and this will match Kenny Dalglish's all-time appearance record for a Scottish player in the elite competition.
