Celtic star Scott Brown has agreed to join rivals Aberdeen in the summer on a free transfer, in a player-coach role.
According to a report from BBC, the former 55-cap Scotland international has agreed on a pre-contract with the Scottish outfit and he will move on after 14 years with the Hoops.
Brown has helped Celtic win several trophies during his time at the club and the 35-year-old midfielder is rightly regarded as a club legend.
The experienced midfielder joined Celtic in 2007 and he has won around 10 League titles and 12 domestic cups with the Scottish giants. He has also made over 600 appearances for the Hoops during his 14-year spell at Parkhead.
However, the midfielder is past his peak and Celtic need to move on and bring in better players if they want to continue to win trophies in future. Brown has struggled quite often this season and it is evident that he is a shadow of his former self.
The Celtic star has lost his stamina and pace. Furthermore, his consistency has suffered as well.
Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has now paid a tribute to the 35-year-old midfielder with the social media post.

It will be interesting to see if Brown can impress at Aberdeen next season. He could still be a useful option because of his leadership qualities and winning experience.
