Many Celtic fans have been fuming at the performance of Scott Brown following the club’s 4-1 defeat to Sparta Prague on Thursday.
Brown had started in the midfield in the Europa League group stage game against Sparta Prague. The Hoops conceded two goals in the first half and while Leigh Griffiths pulled one back in the second half, Sparta Prague scored two more goals to pick up a comprehensive 4-1 win over the Bhoys (as per BBC Sport).
Brown’s performance though, left many Celtic fans fuming. They made their feelings clear about the midfielder’s showing on Thursday.

Should Celtic drop Scott Brown?
Yes
No
Also my opinion on Scott Brown after that match is he is bit part now. Been amazing for us but it looks as though he is starting to waiver.

He brought in majority of those players and ultimately he takes most of the blame. Like Scott Brown is finished, Duffy is woeful, two keepers aren’t great either.. Not getting value for money for players brought in

Brown is done he needs to retire we are constantly playing effectively with 10 men #CELSPA

Scott Brown was so far off it, improved when he came off. Duffy is just all over the place. Flashes of Rogic’s brilliance in the 2nd half but too little too late, didn’t give him the ball enough in my opinion. Edouard looks completely disinterested.

No leaders , Scott Brown non productive again ,frimpong has no direction , Calum McGregor non existent, This is a coaching problem as we have a good squad of players.

When do we get the “Substitution for Celtic, Scott Brown is replaced by Oliver Ntcham”?

I love Scott Brown, but he has been off the pace all season so far IMO!!!!

Despite picking up a rating of 6.12 in the game, Brown was Celtic’s sixth-best performer on Thursday. He made just one tackle and made only one interception too. He didn’t make a single offensive contribution on the pitch.
So it was clearly a rather average performance from the veteran midfielder and it is understandable why Celtic fans aren’t happy with what they saw from him.
