Scott Brown aims to win a seventh Scottish Cup with Celtic before his summer exitOutgoing skipper Scott Brown says the managerial uncertainty at Celtic prompted him to be "selfish" and accept the security of a two-year deal as Aberdeen player-coach. After 22 trophies in his 14-year spell, Brown departs this summer to join new Aberdeen manager Stephen Glass' set-up. The 35-year-old says he was offered a 12-month extension at Celtic, but does not expect a successor to former boss Neil Lennon to be appointed this term. "I had to win over the fans at Hibs coming through as a young lad," he added. Before then, Brown is braced for an "emotional" Celtic departure and wants to leave having won a fifth consecutive Scottish Cup, with the holders beginning at home to League 1 leaders Falkirk on Saturday.
