Former Cardiff City midfielder launches scathing attack on Celtic captain Scott Brown
Loic Damour left Cardiff City for Hearts in the summer, and has launched an astonishing attacking on the Hoops skipper following their clash on Wednesday night
Friday 20th December 2019
Former Cardiff City midfielder Loic Damour has hit out at Celtic captain Scott Brown, claiming the former Scotland international is treated like "the king of the league".
In an astonishing rant, the Frenchman, who left the Bluebirds to join Hearts in the summer, has accused Brown of dominating match officials and even suggested that he has an influence over decisions.
Damour has so far made 12 appearances for the Edinburgh outfit, who went down to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Scottish Premiership champions on Wednesday night.
Brown was actually booked during the game, but Damour still believes the Celtic star is given too much licence to influence referees.
He told the Evening News : "I was very happy to get the 90 minutes against Celtic because that was my first 90 minutes since January.
"I was f***** at the end but I continued to work for the team. I enjoyed the battle, especially with Brown, I think his name is.
"Apparently he is like the king of the league because he can do whatever he wants on the pitch and the referee never says anything.
"He is the referee on the pitch and that is seemingly normal here. I was very frustrated about that so I wanted to let him know we have a referee on the pitch and he is not the referee.
"He plays his game but he also plays like the referee so it is like we have no referee on the pitch.
"I’m starting to know this league now and I can see that when we play Celtic, okay, Brown is the referee.
"It’s easy for them just now because they are top of the league and apparently they always win against Hearts at the moment but hopefully we will be in better condition next time we play them and then we’ll see what happens."
