Kieran Tierney has made no secret of his love for Celtic, despite completing a summer move to Arsenal.
The Scottish international had been at his boyhood heroes from the age of seven, making 170 first-team appearances and winning 10 trophies during his time at Parkhead.
After sealing his move, he took to Instagram to hail the Celtic faithful for the support they gave him during his glittering spell in Glasgow.
He said: "This is coming from the bottom of my heart! I don’t know how to even begin to put the last 15 years of my life into words... what you as fans have given me and my family I cannot repay you in any way possible and for that I am sorry.
"From the age of 7 I was lucky enough to play for the club I love and will continue to love till the day I die no matter what happens.
"Every single second of my Celtic career was a dream and I gave my all every single time I stepped onto that pitch, it’s honestly the least I could do for everyone involved at the club.
"Every single coach and staff member who has helped me on my way to getting where I am today I am so grateful for all the hours help you put into me making me a better player and a better person.
"My team mates have been the best I could possibly have asked for what a bunch of legends man who I’ll be supporting until the end.
"Where can I start with the fans? I tried my best to represent you every time I went onto that pitch. The relationship we had together and the memories we created and history we made was incredible..
"I will cherish every single second of it.
"I hope we can continue to have a relationship although I understand that will be never for some people which is heartbreaking for me but I understand the emotions surrounding this situation."
Tierney was handed his first ever start for Arsenal against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup third round.
And one fan spotted what the left-back had on his boot.
The 22-year-old paid tribute to the clubs that forged him. On one boot is the word 'Bhoys' - for Celtic - and on the other 'Bullfrog', for Bullfrog AFC, a local pub side.
But the gesture has not gone well with one Celtic fan, who took to Twitter to dismiss the Arsenal defender's loyalty.
