Brown launches himself into an aerial challenge with Rangers midfielder Jason Holt

Scott Brown lives for the Old Firm derby.

Now into his 11th season at Celtic having joined in 2007, the 32-year-old has played against Rangers countless times and thrives whenever he does.

He epitomises the two clubs' rivalry with his passion and tough-tackling style, which Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon believes inspires his teammates.

"Scott's always good, he's always got a good thing to say, whatever game it is," said Gordon ahead of Saturday's derby, per the Daily Record.

"He's always there to make sure everybody's ready to go, even at that last moment before kick-off. He can be quite animated, especially in these games.

"Scott can take a bit longer with his talk, depending on what he has to say. It gets everybody going and some of his displays in these games have been outstanding.

"When he gets it right, he can run games. If you see your captain like that then it is something that can inspire the rest of the boys."

It didn't take long for Brown to stamp his authority at Celtic Park when he produced what some would call a 'Scott Brown moment'.
