A lot of Celtic fans have flocked to Twitter to slam Hoops midfielder Scott Brown for his performance in the Glasgow club’s latest Premiership clash with Hibernian.
Brown featured in all of the Hoops’ Premiership games this term leading up to Saturday’s fixture so it may not have come as a big surprise that he started this clash at Easter Road.
However, perhaps you could argue that the midfielder didn’t enjoy his greatest ever outing in this fixture, as he brought Hibs winger Martin Boyle down inside of the penalty box early on in the second half of the game and gave the home side a penalty.
While Kevin Nisbet’s spot-kick was saved by Celtic stopper Scott Bain, Jamie Murphy was able to convert the rebound and give Hibs the lead in the 52nd minute.
The 35-year-old left the pitch 20 minutes after the home side took the lead, as he was replaced by centre-back Shane Duffy.
So, what did these Celtic fans make of Brown’s performance versus Hibernian?
When is Lennon going to realise Scott Brown is done!??

Meanwhile, some supporters of the Glasgow club shared concern that Brown’s performances will ultimately end up costing Celtic what would be a historic 10th Premiership title in a row this term.

Were you impressed by Brown's performance versus Hibs?
YES
NO
So, it’s clear from these Hoops fans’ tweets that Brown doesn’t seem to have won himself much favour amongst fans of his club via his performance at Easter Road on Saturday. Indeed, the midfielder gave away a penalty and was given a 5/10 rating for his performance (67 Hail Hail), so you can see why fans are frustrated.
