Brown lauds stand-in Ki
Celtic captain Scott Brown has hailed the role played by Ki Sung-yueng during his enforced absence.
January arrival Ki did not play under Neil Lennon last season with his last game coming in the 4-0 defeat by St Mirren in March, which spelled the end of Tony Mowbray`s spell in charge.
But the 21-year-old has forced his way into Lennon`s plans this term, occupying one of the central midfield berths as Brown recovers from a broken metatarsal.
The South Korea midfielder won the Clydesdale Bank young player of the month award for October and netted an impressive strike in Celtic`s most recent match, their 2-2 home draw against Inverness.
Brown, who hopes to return for the Old Firm derby at Ibrox on January 2, told the Celtic View: "Sometimes other players need that bit of luck for other players to get injured so they can come into the team and show what they can do.
"I think Ki has come in and been one of the better players since I have been injured and has done very well. I think it's maybe taken him a wee bit of time to find his feet up here."
