Celtic legend Scott Brown a shock name on Fleetwood’s radar as they step up search for next manager
SCOTT BROWN is the shock name on Fleetwood’s radar as their next manager.
The Celtic legend, 36, wants to manage after leaving Aberdeen and retiring.
He has leadership potential from his time as Hoops captain and with Scotland.
Stephen Crainey kept the Cod Army competitive since Simon Grayson left.
Former Wigan manager Gary Caldwell has also been to watch them recently and Livingston boss David Martindale was a surprise visitor only last week.
Brown captained Scottish giants Celtic to nine Scottish Premiership titles in a row before leaving the club in 2021 on a free transfer.

This led him to Aberdeen, where he then retired and became an assistant manager.
However, Brown is now being eyed as a managerial target for Fleetwood.
The club retained their League One status by the skin of their teeth earlier today despite losing 4-2 away to Bolton.
They finished the season in 20th place in the division, only outside of the relegation zone on goal difference.
