CELTIC legend Scott Brown appears to be a man in demand as he looks to resume his managerial career.
With Ayr United reportedly considering Broony as the man they want as their new boss, an English club have now entered the fray.
Scottish Championship outfit Ayr sacked Lee Bullen last week, and Brown has emerged as one of several contenders for the job.
The former Scotland skipper immediately became the bookmakers’ favourite for the Somerset Park gig while a report claimed Ayr were “keen” to make him their next manager.
Brown, 38, was axed by Fleetwood Town back in September.
It was his first managerial role, and the spell came to an end after 16 months in charge.
But according to the Daily Record, the opportunity for Brown to return to English football could be on the horizon.
They claim that Forest Green Rovers have “made an approach” to Brown as they look to replace Troy Deeney.
Watford legend Deeney was sacked after just 29 days in charge and the EFL League Two outfit are looking for yet another manager.
Including caretakers, they’ve had four different managers since sacking Ian Burchnall almost exactly a year ago.

One of those, of course, was ex-Rangers star Duncan Ferguson who’s now back in Scotland in charge of Inverness CT.
Forest Green find themselves in trouble at the bottom end of League Two.
They sit second bottom on 19 points, and are six points adrift of safety.
