Scott Brown reveals what Celtic team really think about Kieran Tierney's £25million Arsenal move

Scott Brown has described Kieran Tierney's move to Arsenal as 'a fairytale'.

The full-back completed his move to the Emirates Stadium on transfer deadline day for a fee of £25million, bringing an end to weeks of speculation about his future.

But speaking to Sky Sports, Celtic's skipper said that he has the full support of his former teammates and insisted that a move to the Gunners was 'a fantastic move'.

He said: "All the lads are delighted for him. He got a fantastic move and he's got a fantastic club as well.

"He loves this club so much that it was a hard thing for him to do, but he's going down to England, he's going to play against the best players week in, week out and he's going to be in Europe as well.

Unai Emery on why he decided not to start with new signings

"He came through the youth, he has supported Celtic all the way through, he has not cost the club a penny and we have sold him for £25million.

"For me personally, it should be a fairy-tale story.

"When you look at Ajax and other teams like that, when they sell players that have come through the youth and given so much to the club, they have a big party on the street and all the fans come out and cheer.

"It's sad that we couldn't all wish him a farewell at Celtic Park but I'm sure he will be back up."
