Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney has taken to Instagram to send a heartfelt message to Celtic midfielder Scott Brown.

It has been announced this week that Brown will leave Celtic at the end of the season.

The Scottish midfielder has signed a pre-contract with Scottish Premiership rivals Aberdeen and will join them in a player-coach role.

Tierney played with Brown for Celtic and the Scotland national football team, and the 23-year-old left-back has sent a heartfelt message to the Hoops.

Big loss for Celtic?

Brown has been on the books of Celtic since 2007 and is a club legend, having played a key role in the Hoops winning the Scottish Premiership title 10 times, and the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup on six occasions during that time.

The 35-year-old is past his prime, but the combative midfielder is still good enough to play in the Scottish Premiership for a year or two.

With Celtic aiming to reclaim the Scottish Premiership title from bitter Old Firm rivals Rangers next season, Brown would have been a big figure in the dressing room.
