Celtic captain Scott Brown has been pictured drunk and sitting on an Edinburgh street just days before his side's Scottish League Cup final.

According to the Scottish Sun, the midfielder was with friends in Edinburgh on Wednesday as they toured the city's lap-dancing bars after a day off from training.

Witnesses describe him as being unsteady on his feet and photographs show him eating some late-night takeaway food.

He was reported to have had an argument with some female dancers and a barman had to intervene to calm the situation.

A source from Baby Dolls lap=-dancing bar told the Scottish Sun: "Brown and his pals weren't in long. They had a couple of dances then left with no trouble, although they both clearly had a good drink in them. Scott was a bit wobbly on his feet."

Celtic have so far refused to comment on the matter. Celtic play Dundee United in the cup final tomorrow.
