SKIPPER SWCOTT BROWN bowed out at Celtic in a low-key goalless draw against former club Hibernian at Easter Road.
The 35-year-old midfielder, who will join Aberdeen as player/assistant next season, turned in a steady but unspectacular performance in an encounter the Parkhead club dominated without getting a goal for their efforts.
As Brown bid farewell to the Hoops after 14 years at Parkhead, a dismal season ended for the Glasgow side, who continued to search for a new manager, with Eddie Howe still the frontrunner.
TONY Watt was adamant Scottish football was still better off without VAR (Video Assistant Referee) last month despite Motherwell being knocked out of the Scottish Cup after Jackson Irvine of Hibernian had scored an offside goal in the quarter-final at Easter Road. “That’s life,” said Watt with a wry smile and a shrug of his shoulders after Graham Alexander’s side had been edged out in a penalty shoot-out. “What can we do? If it’s offside, it’s offside. You win some, you lose some. It’s just what happens. That’s football. You don’t want VAR do you?”

GLENN MIDDLETON’S SECOND-half star cameo ensured St Johnstone remain on course for a trophy double as they beat St Mirren 2-1 to claim a place in the Scottish Cup final.
The on-loan Rangers winger had only been on the park seven minutes when he set-up Chris Kane’s opener.
And he struck again two minutes later, sweeping home a free-kick to ensure Callum Davidson’s men will be back at Hampden on May 22 to face Hibernian as they look to add to their Betfred Cup triumph.
