Brown, who has agreed a pre-contract with Aberdeen and will join them on a two-year deal this summer, played over 600 games for Celtic, winning 10 Premiership titles and 12 domestic cups since his arrival in 2007."It is a huge decision to leave this magnificent club ... but this is a new opportunity for me and a new chapter," said the 35-year-old, who will join new Aberdeen manager Stephen Glass' backroom staff, in a statement https://www.celticfc.

Celtic saw their run of nine consecutive Premiership titles ended by 'Old Firm' rivals Rangers this season, with manager Neil Lennon stepping down last month.
