Hoops skipper Scott Brown has opened negotiations with Celtic about a testimonial.

The 31-year-old will make his 400th appearance for the club on Wednesday as Celtic host St Johnstone and dialogue about marking ten-years at the club is underway.

Brown was signed for Celtic by Gordon Strachan in 2007 from Hibs and the midfielder told the club’s official television channel, CelticTV, that a testimonial could be in the pipeline.

“We have been speaking, Peter and I, so it could happen but I am in no rush,” said Brown. “If they offered me another four-year deal I’d be happy to accept!

“But definitely, I still have the legs and I still have the love of the game.”

Brown could mark his tenth season at the club with a domestic Treble, something he admits he has been trying to achieve for the last decade.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have already won the League Cup and currently hold a 19-point lead at the top of the table. Inverness Caledonian Thistle await in the Scottish Cup next month and Brown is quietly excited about the challenge of delivering a clean sweep.

“It would be lovely,” he smiled. “I have wanted it every season that if I have been here and if I could do it in my tenth season it would be fantastic.”

And Brown has relished this season as Rodgers has re-energised the club. Brown has been one of the key players under the Northern Irishman and the Celtic skipper believes that there is still plenty of football in him yet.

“I feel as good as I have ever felt in a Celtic jersey,” he said. “The gaffer has come in and I am enjoying his training and enjoying the banter of the lads in the dressing room.

“It is a great place to be and it is always like that when you are winning but there are always going to be dips and ups and downs but this team has the ability to bounce back. We were 2-0 down to Motherwell and we came back and it shows you how hard we can work.

“I am enjoying my football and we’re having a great season so far and we want to maintain that for as long as we possibly can.

“We have a lot to play for and there are still a lot of points there. The way we are playing is great but the pitches are all going to start chopping up now and it might not be as pretty to watch but we can deal with that.”

Meanwhile, Ryan Christie is set to head to Pittodrie on loan as he looks to get some game time under his belt.

The striker has featured sporadically this term but is set to team up with Derek McInnes in order to supplement the Dons’ forward options.
