Douglas staggered by reaction to Brown testimonial
Rab Douglas is staggered by the criticism that Scott Brown’s testimonial opponents has attracted.
Social media has been full of poison since it was announced that the Irish national team will provide the opposition on May 20.
Absolutely no one is obliged to attend the match, with membership of FIFA stretching back 100 years and having played in the 2016 European Championships the Irish side is well established and popular opponents throughout the globe.
Staggering that people are looking for controversy over the opposition for Scott Browns testimonial game . Liam Millers family are benefiting out of the game , in my opinion a fantastic generous gesture . Brilliant effort Broony ????????????

Scotland however is a little different with many people uncomfortable that the old days are just that and that the football team from the Irish nation is free to play in Scotland.
While those on the fringes find something else to fume over Celtic fans are looking forward to the chance to honour Brown against friendly opponents.
Segregation will be very relaxed at the match as two great Irishmen, Brendan Rodgers and Martin O’Neill share the touchline to honour the Celtic skipper.
