Celtic say they will defend captain Scott Brown "vigorously" at his SFA hearingCeltic captain Scott Brown has had his Scottish FA disciplinary hearing moved forward six days. The midfielder faces a potential suspension for "not acting in the best interests of football" during a 2-1 win over Rangers last month. Halliday picked up a second yellow card for remonstrating with Brown over his full-time celebrations. Former Scotland skipper Brown was then accused of breaching a rule which states players, coaches and officials should "act in the best interests of association football". Celtic boss Neil Lennon described the charge as "trumped up" and added that the club would defend Brown "vigorously".
