Scott Brown ‘considering’ Aberdeen future following Stephen Glass’ Pittodrie exit
SCOTT BROWN is considering his future at Aberdeen, according to reports.
The Daily Mail claim he is weighing things up following the sacking of former boss Stephen Glass.
Ex-Celtic star Brown was absent from the Aberdeen squad that lost out 1-0 to Rangers thanks to a late Kemar Roofe strike.
Jim Goodwin moved to clear up the reason behind the veteran missing the clash with the Light Blues - insisting there was no issue at all.
Speaking about the player-coach, he said: "There was no issue at all.
"Scott played on Wednesday, his first game for a wee while after being out with a hamstring problem, and just had a wee bit of fatigue in his legs.
"We didn't want to risk him with the chance of possibly breaking down and finding himself out injured again.
"It was a sensible decision, I think, from the medical team, from Scott himself and from me."
