Morelos did not react well to his red card at Celtic Park and had some words for Brown
And Brown was involved in three controversial moments at Celtic Park.
First, he was elbowed by Alfredo Morelos in an off the ball incident, leading to the striker receiving a red card – his fifth of the season.
“You can’t do that in modern day football, especially with all the cameras around, but today is about us,†the skipper said after the game, as he tried to bring the focus back on to his team-mates’ success.

However, quizzed about the incident in which Ryan Kent raised his hand and caught Brown in the face during the second half, the captain said he didn’t remember it, before being asked about the scuffle at full-time when Andy Halliday appeared to angrily confront him.
“Oh, he came up to congratulate me,†Brown explained without a hint of a smile.
Halliday was shown a yellow card shortly before the game ended, but was then shown another after the final whistle for his role in the melee, which is believed to have started when he took exception to Brown celebrating the win in front of Rangers’ fans.

Brown said Halliday was trying to congratulate him for Celtic’s win
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard was not impressed either.
“You’re playing against a player who loves to antagonise,” he said afterwards. “Morelos and Kent are both provoked.
“Celtic fans have the right to celebrate but to do it right in your race, Halliday has the right to protect his own people.
“The guy who antagonised it all from the beginning deserves to be punished as well. When you’re provoked, it’s only fair that both sides get punished in my view.â€
