Brown played for Hamilton Academical, Dundee and Rangers as a defender. He was a first team regular for Rangers as they won nine consecutive Scottish league championships between 1988 and 1997. After retiring as a player, Brown became a coach and has managed Clyde and Dundee. He is known by his nickname “Bomber”.
