Famous Celtic fan Frankie Boyle has had some mean things to say about Scott Brown in the past, but we'd like to see him say them to his face (mainly because it would be funny).

The all-action midfielder has been captain of the Hoops for seven years, and the Celtic arm-band is seldom put on the bicep of players (let alone for so long) who don't have a bit of fire in their belly.

Brown puts himself about the pitch all day, and seldom backs out of a 50/50 duel - even with those who dwarf his 5'9" frame. The 32-year-old has also never shied away from the opportunity to throw some shade on Joey Barton - whom he mocked last year after a thumping Old Firm victory over Rangers - which makes him OK in our book.
