Brown admits past regrets
The controversial appointment has outraged many Dundee fans and split the club boardroom.
In most circumstances the appointment of a former player with limited management experience would get a lukewarm welcome but one incident from Brown’s recent past obscures all other memories.
The moment that he took to the steps of Ibrox in front of an adoring crowd urging them to starve Charles Green out the door left a mark on Brown’s reputation that no spin doctor could ever put a positive light on.
Repeating constantly his need to see the ‘title deeds’ that image of Brown in stamped into the memory of football fans throughout Scotland- not least at Dundee where they are being asked to welcome their former midfielder back into the fold.
Without referencing his Ibrox rallying call Brown said: “Anything I’ve done in life, you take responsibility for.
“There are things I’ve done that I regret but you know what, you live with that. You stand up and take one on the chin. I’m here to take one on the chin for Dundee Football Club.”
Brown watched Celtic hammer five goals past Dundee on Sunday with the only realistic hope of avoiding relegation coming if Hearts go into administration.
The sacking of Barry Smith followed by the appointment of Brown has stunned Dundee supporters with Brown revealing that he took on the job through an invitation rather than applying for the post.
He added: “I was out of it for a year and got a call on Wednesday night from Scot Gardiner, saying would I help Dundee out. That’s what I’m here to do. People say there’s a mountain to climb but people climb mountains every day.”
