Dyce Boys Club are celebrating over Stuart Armstrong's move from Celtic to Southampton.

Under FIFA rules, Dyce Boys Club were entitled to the six-figure lump sum to reward them for helping shape the 26-year-old into a Premier League star.

Treasurer Len Nicol said: "We're in a state of shock. We never dreamt how much it would be. We heard news of the transfer just before it was announced and we knew that there would be a payment. But I nearly dropped the phone when I heard how much it was."

Armstrong's former coach Ronnie Cromar added: "Stuart's path to the top is an amazing story. We are all so proud of what he has achieved so far in his career and we often talk about him as an example to the young players currently at the club.

"Stuart is a brilliant role model. Not only is he a great player but he is also an intelligent young man."
