His only trophy with Hibs was the 2006–07 Scottish League Cup; in that season he also won the SFWA Young Player of the Year award. In May 2007, he transferred to Celtic for a fee of £4.4 million, the highest transfer fee paid between two Scottish clubs. During Brown's time at Celtic, the club won ten Scottish championships, six Scottish Cups and six Scottish League Cups. He captained the club to nine consecutive championships and successive trebles in 2016–17, 2017–18, 2018–19 and 2019–20.
