Glasgow Celtic midfielder Scott Brown continued to live up to his 'hard man' tag during his side's 2-0 win over Aberdeen on Sunday afternoon, jumping straight to his feet and strutting off the pain following a horror tackle from debutant Sam Cosgrove.
Moussa Dembele and Kieran Tierney both found the back of the net as the Hoops maintained their nine-point advantage over fierce rivals Glasgow Rangers this weekend. However, it was six minutes before the end when tempers began to flare.
Two Dons men attempted to fell the midfielder with wild and late challenges, the last of which was Cosgrove's long after the ball was played - who clattered the Scotland international with what could have easily been a leg-breaking lunge.
