Jock Brown was the man controlling the Parkhead money in the late 90s and has warned against free spending this summer.
Former Celtic general manager Jock Brown has urged the club's board to back Brendan Rodgers sensibly during the transfer window.
It's a similar story with Portuguese midfielder Paulo Bernardo, although the Hoops are keen to bring down Benfica's £6.3million asking price. The board have been urged to back Rodgers, who has previously not tried all that hard to hide his frustrations before, during and after previous windows, albeit subtly. He wants the best tools to allow him to keep delivering trophies, and dramatically improve his European record.
"I was the guy who was trying to buy players and bring players into Celtic and I know how difficult that is, what's involved in that and the complications that are involved in it all," Brown told the Herald. "People talk about backing , and say 'just give him the money'. That's just utter nonsense.
