SCOTT Brown savoured his return to Lennoxtown this week, and now can’t wait to see a full-house at Paradise as soon as it’s safe to do so. Until then, the captain knows he and his team-mates’ job very much remains the same: to win games and play entertaining football.

Brown also acknowledged the importance of the social aspects tied to the Hoops’ return to training, but underlined how quickly they were back to business on the field.

“It’s been good seeing some of the lads at different times, and it’s been good getting back into to do what we want to do,” he said. “We’ve been non-contact, we’ve been doing a lot of running individually and we’ve been able to get a wee touch of the ball as well, so it’s been good!

“Hopefully things are now starting to get back to normal, but just now we’re just making sure we’re doing everything by the book, as we should be. It’s an important season ahead, but there’s pressure on us to win every single game – whether that’s Barcelona, St Mirren or Hearts.

“We’ve always got that pressure and that’s why us as players signed here, we want to win games and win trophies, we want to win every single game. That pressure comes from our fans, they demand to see top-quality standards and proper football, and that’s what we try to do week-in and week-out.

“We just want everyone to get through it, we want the best for Scottish football and we want everyone to be in a good place. All the fans want to come back as well, and we’ll eventually do so safely, with all the boxes ticked.

"Until we do, we need to make sure that we entertain, that we get everything on TV, and show that this league is as good as most leagues in Europe.”

Captain: We aim to entertain until this stadium is full again
