A packed Celtic Park this afternoon celebrated in style as Scott Brown enjoyed his testimonial game against the Republic of Ireland, led by former Hoops boss Martin O'Neill.
Here are some of the best pictures from the star studded game.

Eleven years, 470 appearances, seven straight titles, back-to-back trebles, 15 trophies in total - the numbers that have secured Scott Brown's legendary status amongst the Celtic support.
But as old-school pundits are so fond of reminding us, the game is not about statistics, and facts and figures will never truly sum up the Parkhead captain's true worth to his side and their fans.
A spreadsheet will be hard pushed to illustrate the sight of an opponent wilting in the face of the 'Broony stare'. It cannot describe just how influential he has been in driving forward Brendan Rodgers' vision since the manager arrived two years ago.
And it would have to be some bar chart to explain why no matter how many players rival bosses pitch up against the Hoops midfield boss, he still comes out on top, all strut and chest puffed out.
Yet, what did reveal just what the Parkhead faithful think of their on-pitch leader was the fact Celtic Park was packed almost to the rafters for a testimonial clash against a Republic of Ireland XI just 24 hours after most of those in attendance had forked out £30 to see their team wrap up back-to-back clean sweeps with their William Hill Scottish Cup triumph.
And when considered that the 2-2 draw was predictably played out at a snail's pace, then that tribute looked even more generous.
But then again generosity was hardly in short supply, with Brown donating his testimonial fee to the family of late Hoops midfielder Liam Miller as well as a number of charities.
The man of the moment was the only member of the starting line-up who had kicked off against Motherwell the day before while former Celtic man Charlie Mulgrew was back at Parkhead for a guest appearance.
And for many, the chance to see Henrik Larsson run out for one more 30-minute cameo appearance will have been worth the ticket price alone.
Ireland boss Martin O'Neill was also back at his old stomping ground 15 years to the day since he led the club out in Seville for the UEFA Cup final - a reminder that for all of Celtic's dominance on home soil, they still have major room for improvement in Europe.
Preston striker Alan Browne swept the visitors - who had international regulars such as Seamus Coleman, Jon Walters and James McClean among an inexperienced line-up - ahead four minutes in but that was cancelled out three minutes from half-time as Leigh Griffiths prodded home from close range after good work by Eboue Kouassi.
Ireland regained the lead on 58 minutes when Callum O'Dowda's vicious strike cannoned off the bar, only to strike young goalkeeper Ross Doohan on the back of the head before bouncing into the net - but Patrick Roberts signed off his Celtic loan stint with a goal as he equalised three minutes later.
But with 90 seconds left, there was time for one last standing ovation as Brown's number was up, making way for Callum McGregor.
