Former Celtic skipper Tom Boyd is urging Stuart Armstrong to resist Premier League interest.

Brighton and Southampton are among clubs keen on the midfielder.

"What do you want to be as a player?" Boyd asked. "Do you want to be a winner? Or do you want to just earn good money?

"I really hope Stuart can stay at Celtic. We don't want our best players leaving.

"I know in the grand scheme of things there's a big gap between the Scottish Premiership and the English Premiership. And he clearly has a decision to make.

"But I don't want to see Stuart go. Hopefully we can get him to stay - a five year contract would be nice.

"I think he's a happy man at Celtic. He'll win things there. His medal haul to date isn't too shabby, though. Four titles, two Scottish Cups, two League Cups - have all been attained in three-and-a-half years."
