10 weeks out for Brown

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."
