Celtic captain Scott Brown says Kieran Tierney's move to Arsenal is a fairytale.

The 22-year-old had been with the Bhoys since 2005 before completing a £25m switch to the Premier League giants on deadline day.

"All the lads are delighted for him," Brown told reporters. "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. Here's hoping we get to the Champions League though.

"But we all wish him the best, he has been a fantastic servant to the club.

"When you look at it, 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 £25 million."

Brown added: "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, massive 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."
