Strachan: Brown's reputation goes before him

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan claims Scott Brown should not be punished for past misdemeanours after the midfielder picked up a yellow card that is likely to exclude him from the Old Firm derby.

Brown was booked for a two-footed tackle on Thomas Scobbie as Celtic maintained their three-point lead in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League with a 4-0 home win over Falkirk last night.
