Celtic legend Scott Brown is set to pull on his playing boots once again as part of Stephen Dobbie's testimonial clash.

The 37-year-old called time on an illustrious career last term and he has now embarked on a management career with Fleetwood Town.

Brown will now pull on his boots again as he celebrates the career of striker Dobbie, who has scored goals wherever he has played his football.

In a statement announcing the match, the Queen of the South said: “A testimonial committee has been formed to plan a number of events to recognise the strikers, commitment, loyalty and contributions to the club.

"The year-long testimonial will get underway at the end of April 2023 (Sun 30th), with a match at Palmerston when the man himself will select his all-time Queens 11 to take on a Scotland Legends side that will be captained by Scott Brown.”

Meanwhile, Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou hailed his “outstanding” captain after Callum McGregor capped his comeback with a late winner at Aberdeen.

McGregor struck from 20 yards in the 87th minute to earn Celtic a 1-0 win and restore their nine-point lead in the cinch Premiership.

The midfielder was making his first appearance since suffering a knee injury 10 weeks ago and he helped the champions deliver a performance that Postecoglou felt might have been the most dominant of his spell in charge.

Celtic had 33 shots at goal to Aberdeen’s two and McGregor produced 170 accurate passes – 53 more than the entire home team.

“He was a bit rusty, wasn’t he? Look, he is just an outstanding footballer,” Postecoglou said.

“We did awfully well to cover his absence but it doesn’t take away from the fact he is a fantastic footballer and he makes our team even better. No doubt about it.

“His ability to link up play in the way we want to play and dictate tempo… He was key, he was the one who at times sped up the game for us and at times slowed it down, and we just wore down the opposition.

“You wouldn’t know he had missed so much football. Someone said to me he had an enormous amount of passes and touches.

“It’s fitting for him to get the goal because he has worked hard to get to this space to be ready again. He is a credit to himself, to this football club – he is an outstanding leader.”
