Sutton says Brown will ‘walk back into’ the Celtic side after injury

Chris Sutton believes Scott Brown “will walk back into” the Hoops midfield after his knee injury because he’s such a key player. The 33-year-old was initially brought off after 21 minutes against Hibernian on October 20 and has gone on to miss Celtic’s next three league games against Dundee FC, Hearts and Livingston.

Brown is expected to return later this month, potentially against Hamilton Academicals on November 24, and Sutton believes he will get straight back into the team as he’s a “driving force”. In his column for the Daily Record, the BT Sport pundit wrote: “Scott Brown will walk back into Celtic midfield because he’s the driving force.
