BROWN HAS FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BOOKINGS HE RECEIVED AS A PLAYER... BUT THIS ONE STILL RANKLES 07:33, 02 Jun 2025Updated 07:35, 02 Jun 2025 Scott Brown was shown 146 yellow cards in his

Frank McAvennie's _Let Me Be Frank_ podcast, Brown said: “I got booked for that. Honestly. That’s probably the only booking I didn’t deserve. “We were having a go all season, to be
fair. It was every game, then, was he still there that season afterwards? I can’t remember how long he was there. “But it was actually quite good banter. I liked somebody who gave me
something back.” Follow _RECORD SPORT_ on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.
