Scott Brown

[Hibby soldier]

So much for Brown ending his career at HIBS...:cb

[Pretty Boy]

I have serious doubts that Hibs had any interest in bringing Brown back to ER.

[PH91]

Still got plenty to give, wouldn't be surprised if he put in a motm performance today.

[Ozyhibby]

I prefer us to sign young up and coming players. Happy that Aberdeen and Hearts seem to be shopping in the over 30 market these days.

Nah, he's done now imo. Really think he'll struggle at Aberdeen next season without Celtic level players beside him.

[Stairway 2 7]

Have we ever done a presentation to a player leaving a different club before

A little bit strange, I could have seen the point if he was retiring but he's just leaving one club and going to another one.

Each to their own though.

I'm OK with that, he's had a great career at celtic but it all started at Hibs and he clearly still has a soft spot for us even though he's been at the lesser greens for years

[mcohibs]

Aye but he's no retiring, why are we giving him a plaque for his last game for celtic? Daft

[ScottB]

I wonder if either we’ve treated this as an assumption that he will retire or we’ve been told as such.

[weecounty hibby]

Perhaps as its a pretty decent thing to do? I don't much like celtic as a club but we as a club do the decent thing more often than not

[Sir David Gray]

Like I say, each to their own.

If he was retiring then fair enough, he was a good player for us, is a cup winner with us and got us a good fee.

However he's only moving from one rival club to another rival club. It's not something I'll lose any sleep over though.

Absolutely, he’s not retiring as you say

[Alfred E Newman]

Great interview by Broon.

[hibby rae]

Great interview by Broon.

Yeah, by all accounts a very nice guy off the pitch and clearly still holds us in a lot of affection, with a lot of friends still here.

If he does well once he's hung up the boots it's not outside the realms of possibility he would come here in some capacity or other.

[SaulGoodman]

Doesn’t sit right with me.

If he was retiring? Fair enough.

In my opinion we’ve presented a plaque, spent a good portion of the game, and the post match fawning over a player that’s leaving Celtic (irrelevant to us) to join Aberdeen (irrelevant to us) while our current group of players have got us to a cup final next week that we could be talking about instead , not to mention the fact that one of our current players has just played his last game for us.

[Big_Franck]

In his interview there he was asked if there was a chance he'd have returned to Hibs to finish his career. He said that they'd spoken about it a couple of times but that he didn't want to ruin the memories that Hibs fans have of him from when he was a box to box midfielder now that he can barely run and has a big backside! He said he wanted a totally new challenge and Aberdeen gives him that.

Me too, very odd and I'd rather we focused on Rocky who's been a good servant to the club and likely going abroad.

I had to laugh at that. Too slow and fat for hibs. Sheep fans will be raging! 😂

I didn't like it. Brown has been at Celtc for too long to be deserving of anything from Hibs.

Different matter if it had been for Marciano.

[Peevemor]

I wonder if the idea to present something to Scott Brown came from our players as opposed to the club/board?

It looked to me like SDG had to nab him on the sly to Brown his whatever-it-was as opposed to an official presentation.

[hibee-boys]

Cup winner, left hibs on good terms and always speaks fondly of Hibs.....oh.....and the £££ we received for him financed our training centre. Hope he fails miserably at Aberdeen but only because I can’t stand the Dons, would be delighted to have him back at Hibs in any capacity in the future.

:top marksHe obviously still has the talent but he's lost a yard in pace, I don't think he's what we need but he will always be welcome back at Easter Road by me

[Danderhall Hibs]

How much did the plaque cost? Hope it hasn’t impacted the budget…

[MagicSwirlingShip]

His transfer pretty much paid for East Mains.

Mad that some fans can’t deal with our captain handing over a plaque. Thought it was a pretty classy move tbh.

[CapitalGreen]

Presenting a plaque to a player leaving Celtic to join Aberdeen is bit weird tbh. Anyone know what it says?

Surely the time to present him with the plaque would have been when he left Hibs. Not sure of the relevance of him leaving Celtic to join Aberdeen is to our club now.

[hibbysam]

Think it says congratulations on your 14 years service at Celtic, from all at Hibernian.

Doesn’t need to be relevant. It’s just a nice thing to do

[Eyrie]

Maybe it would be nice to send Sevco a plaque to congratulate them on winning their first title?

Brown leaving Celtc for Aberdeen has nothing to do with Hibs, which is why today's gift was totally inappropriate.

[Peevemor]

Is this anything to get uptight about?

[Sir David Gray]

Yep agreed. I look forward to Hibs handing a plaque to a former player at some point in the future to congratulate them for 14 years' service to Rangers.

[Carheenlea]

A memento from the opposition to mark the occasion of his last appearance after a very long spell with his club - quite a classy thing to do really. In a sport that’s often poisonous, it’s nice to see a bit of respect now and again.

In your opinion.

In others, quite reasonable.

I don’t think it bothered our club captain too much. Good enough for me.

[gbhibby]

Probably cost more than Celtics presentation. Heard they recycled their biscuit tin lid to make it.

[RIP]

Hibs showing their class for an ex-player who always speaks well of our club. Not everyone at Hibs buys into the Hibernian Way culture that we adopted in 2014 but good servants should always be respected IMO.

[adam middlemass]

Yes, I thought it was a nice touch by Hibs. A player I had a lot of time for ! :agree::thumbsup:

[Alfiembra]

Agree with this the golden generation funded a huge modernisation of the club and Brown more than contributed towards that. Well done Hibs.

[hibbyfraelibby]

He'll be back...

[Tommy75]

Total cringe. This place would be in complete meltdown if we done that for a Rangers player.

[JohnM1875]

The attention we paid Brown today post match was nothing short of embarrassing.

It was Rocky's last game for Hibs after five years. That should have been our sole focus. Who gives a flying **** that Brown is leaving Celtic to join Aberdeen?

No it would not of happened as you know and quite right too.

Then it shouldn’t happen for the other cheek either.

[Lancs Harp]

Brown has been a great player for Celtic but he's been past his best for a couple of seasons. A yard short of pace. I think in John McGinns final season he well and truly dominated SB in our clashes. At the top table he was finished then, hes done well to get a few extra seasons IMO hasnt been great or even good for a few seasons. Has been a great player for Celtic in his time there though I wouldnt doubt that.

[CapitalGreen]

Wonder if they’d have gave a plaque if it had been someone that has spent the last 14 year at Rangers but played with Hibs prior to that.

Correct. We didn’t do anything for Kenny Millers last game for Rangers before the final game of the 2017/18 season. He spent 8 years at Rangers, always spoke highly of Hibs and made us a sizeable transfer fee when we sold him.

Marciano has played more games for Hibs than Brown ever did and next week could become a Scottish Cup winning legend yet you would be forgiven for thinking it was Brown who was playing his last game for Hibs at Easter Road today.

[ian cruise]

Came up via our youth system.
Played a major part in our history with the League Cup.
Left for a big fee and donated some (all?) of his signing on fee to the club.
Returned to Easter Road to enjoy Hibs play on many occasions since.

Yeah it's a bit unusual and he's spent the majority of his career at Celtic but I'm really not bothered by ourselves helping him celebrate his last game.

Football has become too tribalistic, there's rivalry and then there's hatred and the scenes in George Square are a brilliant example of what happens when you lean towards the latter.

Brown may be celebrating the end if his Celtic career but the building blocks for that were forged at Hibs, he hasn't forgotten that and I don't mind if the club hasn't either.

[ian cruise]

Wonder if they’d have gave a plaque if it had been someone that has spent the last 14 year at Rangers but played with Hibs prior to that.

Depends on the player. If it was Ian Murray if Whittaker then maybe, if it was Thomson then probably not. I'm not saying the latter didn't deserve the thanks of Hibs fans but we, like many other fans, are fickle.

Brown has always maintained a relationship with the club, coming along to games when Celtic haven't been playing. I think the main difference between him and a player such as Kenny Miller is that his whole career has been within the Scottish league rather than a pro Celtic/anti Rangers thing.

[ian cruise]

I'm 100% in favour of sending a plaque to Ibrox that says "Congratulations to The Rangers Football Club on winning your first ever Scottish Premier League Title". I'm sure there fans would be very appreciative of the gesture 😁

[Eyrie]

I see there are a number of posters defending the gift on the grounds that Brown was a great young player for us who came through our youth system and donated his signing fee to Hibs.

I could maybe see the logic of that if Brown was actually retiring having been at a number of clubs since then, but instead he's moving from the club that all non-Hibs fan identify him with for the last fourteen years to our direct rivals.

No wonder Celtc fans like to patronise us when even our own club rewards a Celtc player for playing for Celtc for so many years.

Celtic regularly take our best players, so much so that their fans have in the past displayed banners mocking us for it. Then when one of them leaves Celtic for our closest competitor in the league we celebrate his service to Celtic. We made more of a deal for Brown yesterday than we did for our own current goalkeeper who has amassed more appearances for the club than Brown ever did 🤣🤣

[Sean1875]

Christ, it’s a plaque. Chill oot.

Yes, I thought it was a nice touch by Hibs. A player I had a lot of time for ! :agree::thumbsup:
One of the finest box to box midfielders seen at ER that's for sure, my love in for him stopped the minute he signed for that crowd.

[Since452]

The only thing we should be handing a Celtic player is their arse. There should be absolutely nothing welcoming for any opposition player at Easter Road

[JimBHibees]

We will never know if the would or wouldn't. Does seem a little strange given he is no doubt going to be booting our players next season :greengrin however in the grand scheme of things a pretty nice thing to do given the success of his career and the fact he played and won a trophy for us also?

Was also good to see how well regarded he still was with some of Hibs behind the scene staff

[blackpoolhibs]

Did Alan Sneddon or Jackie Mac receive anything from celtic when they left Hibs?

[JimBHibees]

The coverage focussed on Rocky as well with a very good interview with him and also SDG and Daz and Jack. Didn't think the coverage was OTT however don't think there was any need for us to be interviewing Scott however maybe he asked for the opportunity to say thanks to the club.

[jacomo]

I have serious doubts that Hibs had any interest in bringing Brown back to ER.


He’s been offered a significant coaching role and we didn’t have a vacancy.

I think his decision to go to Aberdeen is a purely professional one, as he sees a future in management.

I don’t get the hate around Scott Brown, I really don’t. The only blot on his copybook is that he employed a snake of an agent as a 21 year old and was persuaded by him to hand in a transfer request.

He’s got a genuine affection for our club, as well he might.

Good luck to him... except against us of course. It looks like we’ve got his number on the pitch these days so I have no worries about facing him next season.

[superfurryhibby]

Is this anything to get uptight about?

In a word, no!

Who cares....no, no, no, not me.

It's a bit odd, but so what.

Playing for Celtic for 14 years, and booting our players (including an utter shocker on Slivka in a 2-0 hibs win, when Slivka was giving him the run around) has made him lose any respect him me. He is just a plastic hardman who has got away with murder for 14 years.

[Billy Whizz]

If you read through the thread really few personal pops at Scott

Remember him breaking through at a very you age. No 18 and played with amazing energy and was fearless. Used to talk to his mum dad and brother at the away games
Scott was co-captain in the 2007 cup winning side, and like all the players in the side, will always welcome back at ER, or gatherings

The difference just now, is Scott has been 14 years at Celtic, and has just joined our rivals for 3rd place next season

I think the beef on here and the Celtic TV thread is Hibspass
It’s been a terrible watch most of the season for Hibs fans, and yesterday’s tribute to Brown just took the biscuit. Before during after the game, so much space was allocated to him

Rocky got a bit of coverage which was great, but let’s be honest it’s been a really poor product all season pre and post match. How hard would have been to do a summary of best goals this season, and a big look forward to the final, which we won’t be at!

If you look at all our rivals they all have people who manage these position who have a passion for their club, and more likely fans as well!

From what I see and read the people running out club haven’t got a clue about Hibs and their identity. Unfortunately can’t see this changing either. Doesn’t help when we have an absent owner and no CEO in place to run our club

You can agree or disagree with this, but this is my view

This won't surprise you but I think you're being too hard.

I think Ron understands us fine and the team don't seem to be suffering too much with him at the helm. I don't know if he could have done more to back the manager over the past 2 transfer windows.

The matchday output has been generally fine. I've watched Hibs on the Internet for years and all that matters is seeing the match. I'm not David Tanner's biggest fan but he's nowhere near as bad as some on here make out.

Had I been involved at Hibs, making a presentation to Scott Brown wouldn't even have crossed my mind, but I don't see it as something to complain about either.

Yes there might have been too much Scott Brown chat for a couple of minutes immediately after the match, but there was plenty Hibs content which followed.

I agree with a fair bit of that Billy, especially about hibspass, we have got that wrong from the beginning with the host being a die in the wool hun.

Hibs fans want Hibs stuff and a little Hibs bias, what we dont want is a show about another teams player, and a host that knows bugger all about us.

Big Ron has done well for us, and with the pandemic on the go we decided to go with fewer players and staff, which we seem to have managed very well.

When things get back to normal, i'm pretty sure we will get back to full employment, but everyone has done the same and we are doing better than most. :greengrin

I don't. I always back myself up with evidence. As multiple others have pointed out I'm not making anything up here. If you'd like to give me one of these frequent examples, I'll happily discuss it.

Of course he has. He played for the club and won a trophy. He's also done far more to hurt hibs than me, by scoring against us and kicking our players. And he's done much more for Celtic than he has for hibs. I'm really not sure why I'm supposed to like the guy.

Ah yes, I dislike a Celtic player and refuse to lick his farter, must be jealous.

Try keeping it on topic instead of resorting to your usual petty insults when shown you are mistaken.

[Allez Hibs]

Have we ever done a presentation to a player leaving a different club before

What exactly was the presentation for?

He is signing for one of our direct rivals.

[WeeRussell]

Along with Sproule, Brown was one of my favourite players watching hibs as a teenager, to the extent I even found myself trying to replicate him when playing myself! Exciting, firey, passionate and part of the best hibs team to watch during my lifetime. I think he was up there with Scotland’s most important players towards the end of his international career too, and I’ve always respected him.. despite not always ‘liking’ him especially given who he played for. But all in all he’s had a very good career, been a brilliant footballer and a captain for a very dominant Celtic side. He’ll go down as a Scottish football legend when all is said and done.

Having said all that.. I don’t think it was our job to be presenting plaques to him when, in reality, all he is doing is moving to another team. I won’t lose sleep over it but does seem a bit of a nonsense for me.

I don't think that was necessary. No need for the personal dig.

Scott Brown's tackle on Slivka was a complete shocker.

I had a read through the Rangers fans thread and it was a tough read with Hibs fans having personal digs at each other.

Brown was certainly very good for our club until fourteen years ago, but did we give him a plaque when he left Hibs?

If not, why give him one for leaving Celtc?

Or maybe give Ian Murray a testimonial after his service to Rangers.

It's hardly the same thing.

Murray's testimonial was in recognition of his service to Hibs.

Brown's plaque was in recognition of his service to Celtic.

I'm guessing you already know that though.

Its the only thing he's won this season :wink:
