Celtic Captain Scott Brown is set to join Aberdeen this Summer.
The 35-year-old will become the first signing of the Stephen Glass era, and also join the backroom staff.
" I will be relentless in my quest for success for Aberdeen.” said the former Scotland International.
Brown continued:
"“There is no doubt I had a lot to deliberate when deciding my next steps, particularly after enjoying fourteen successful years at Celtic. However, the opportunity to join Aberdeen, a Club entering an exciting new period with my former team-mate Stephen now at the helm, was one I couldn’t pass up."
Manager Stephen Glass refereed to the signing as a "huge coup"for both himself and the club.
Glass said:
"His experience will be invaluable on the pitch and he is someone who will help set the standards we expect at this Club. A born competitor, with a strong appetite to win, his hands-on approach and desire to nurture will hugely benefit the development of the young, emerging talent we have here.
“Scott will be a big part of my coaching team and whilst his impact will undoubtedly be felt on the pitch where I believe he still has much to give, I am looking forward to assisting his transition into coaching."
The reaction from Dons fans has been mixed, but after years of Brown being one of the most hated players to visit Pittodrie each year, it's set to become his home.
