Celtic skipper Scott Brown has admitted that the atmosphere at Sunday’s 3-0 win over Rangers was the best he’s ever known.
Brown has been at Celtic for almost four seasons and was bowled over by the noise coming from the stands as Neil Lennon’s side hit top gear.
“It was the best atmosphere I’ve known in my time here,” he told Channel 67. “ I had a glance at the crowd when they had their backs to the pitch and saw them bouncing up and down- that was priceless
“Champions League nights are good but that was the loudest and the best that I have heard the fans. It was special to beat Rangers 3-0 at home.”
Brown missed two months of the season due to a foot injury but has been back to his best just as Celtic have struck form.
With Biram Kayal forming a great central midfield partnership the former Hibs man has looked a natural on the right of a four man midfield.
Injuries have dogged Brown over the past two seasons but with three trophies up for grabs over the next three months he hopes he’s seen the last of the treatment room.
He added: “I’ve had a few niggling injuries but hopefully I can stay clear of injury from now until the end of the season
“When I’ve had injuries I’ve found myself wanting to get back and play more than ever but when I’ve come back they’ve still been irritating me.
“I’ve not had any luck with injuries but I’m feeling good now and enjoying my football.”

For me, Scott Brown has been exceptional since his return to the side in December. He’s now the player we thought we were getting, when we signed him from Hibs.
I don’t think that it’s any coincidence that his return to form has come when he’s changed position. I was never convinced he was a central midfield player. Playing on the right-hand side was how he made his name and am pleased to see that he’s back playing there now and playing well.
Just need a few more goals Broony!!
Hail Hail \o/
What a complete 360 degree turnaround in this lads Celtic career. Before December I would have bet that the majority of supporters would have been glad to let him go for anything approaching what we paid Hibs for him. Now, we should be talking about giving him an extension and being the foundation, along with the likes of Kayal, Izzy, Hooper, et al, of a really exciting future.
His performance in the cup game at Owebrox was immense, like a combination of The Bear and The Maestro at their peak! Not to mention oneof the best goal celebrations ever right in the face of the sewer rat’s jobby!
