No surgery required but it could be Christmas before Scott Brown is back Scott Brown may not need surgery on his broken foot but he is still looking at a period of up to 10 weeks on the sidelines. Celtic announced on Friday that the Scotland midfielder would be out for at least six weeks, and possibly more, with a stress reaction in a metatarsal on his right foot. A visit to a specialist has allayed fears Neil lennon's captain would need surgery, which would have kept him out for about three months. But a club statement said: "However, with the extra rehabilitation work required, the midfielder is likely to be out for eight to 10 weeks."
