'Lionel Nessi' - Bologna FC create bizarre Loch Ness Monster themed clip for new signing Aaron Hickey

Italian Football team Bologna have unveiled a bizarre Nessie themed signing video for former Hearts player Aaron Hickey.

The young Scottish left back finally completed his move to the Serie A club this week after speculation he might join Celtic or Bayern Munich.

The Italian team wasted no time welcoming Hickey by posting the "so bad, it's good" clip on their official Twitter account.

And it seems they've gone full blown Scottish stereotype with bagpipes, mountain scenery and of course our legendary monster - which the young Scot appears to pull from the waves in his new Bologna kit before posing with his catch.

The post read: "They thought he was a myth, they hunted high and low, they believed he would appear. Now, he's here and he's real."

Scots have flocked to Twitter to poke fun at the Tweet.

One simply used the Limmy react gif and another quipped: "Lionel Nessi."

One user responded: "You deserve to have you lasagnes deep fried for that!"

Many more wished the young player luck in his new career.
