The midfielder believes once the dust has settled Lennon will be well-regarded for his time at Parkhead in each capacity and role held.

Brown said: "The manager is a legend of the club as a player and a manager. He wants the best for this club no matter what happens, whether he's here or not.

"He was a fantastic servant to this football club and he gave everything that he could possibly give. It was a sad day when I saw that he was leaving.

"We never want to see any manager go and what the manager's given to this club over the last 20 years - he was a fantastic player at this club and a fantastic manager as well.

"There's always going to be ups and downs, always going to be heartbreaks but I'm sure he’ll be feeling as bad as everybody else.”
