Scott Brown hopes to lead by example after starting his reign as Peterhead captain with a win. The midfielder helped the Blue Toon beat Dumbarton 1-0 at Balmoor on Saturday in his first game as skipper after being given the armband following Rory McAllister’s move to Cove Rangers. Brown, 25, said: “I’m delighted the gaffer has put a bit of faith in me to be captain.
