Celtic's Brown buoyed by grinding Scotland win

Scott Brown was happy to be on another winning Scotland side after Tuesday night's narrow defeat of Norway.

The Celtic star skippered the Scots to a 1-0 victory over the Norwegians, scoring the only goal of the contest, in what was a hard-fought affair in Molde.

After the match, Brown was happy to be part of a grinding win although he did admit to an element of luck in his 61st-minute goal.

"The lads fought and battled all the way," he told BBC Scotland.

"We didn't play at our best - we know that - but we got the result and that's what we came for."

He added: "We got a wee bit of luck with the deflection.

"It was one of those ones - I just hit it and hoped. It was a deflection but it went into the back of the net and that's all that matters."
