Two Celtic legends linked with vacant Championship manager role

Celtic legend Scott Brown is looking for a new job in management - and he has reportedly been linked with the vacant post at Queen's Park, following the sacking of Robin Veldman on Saturday.

Brown's debut in management came at Fleetwood Town - he assumed the vacant role in 2022, following the departure of interim coach Stephen Crainey. After a decent first season with the Lancashire outfit, he was sacked in September of this year after a poor start to the 2023/24 campaign.

Brown is one of the most beloved figures in the history of Celtic football club, revered for his unwavering work ethic and fantastic run as club captain. His career began at Hibernian - he also featured for Aberdeen and the Scottish national team as a player, for whom he won 55 caps and scored four goals on the international stage.

Who else is in the running for the Queen's Park job?

According to a report from Record Sport, Brown isn't the only Scot in contention for the Queen's Park job. They are also thought to be looking at former Blackburn Rovers defender Charlie Mulgrew - despite his lack of experience in first-team coaching.

Mulgrew has never held a managerial position before - meaning that, should he take on the vacant job with the Spiders, it would be his first foray into football management. He may not be familiar with management - but he is familiar with Glasgow.

The 37-year-old enjoyed two stints at Celtic in the past. He failed to make a first team appearance in the Scottish Premiership during his first spell, but his second spell saw him play 134 times and score 20 goals along the way. Like Brown, Mulgrew also enjoyed a brief stint at Aberdeen, playing for the Dons from 2008 to 2010.
