Celtic legend John Hartson has hailed Arsenal-bound Kieran Tierney as a "brilliant" Hoops player - and tipped him for the top.
The ex-striker took to social media after news dropped last night that Tierney was headed down south for a medical at the Emirates.
Welshman Hartson - who himself enjoyed two years as a Gunner - praised "grounded" Tierney ahead of the move.
Arsenal are getting a fine player, a wonderfully grounded boy, been brought up in humble surroundings, I can only wish Kieran Tierney a great career. Been brilliant for Celtic. Good luck mate šš»

And he revealed his wishes for the Celtic hero to have a stellar career.
He said: "Arsenal are getting a fine player, a wonderfully grounded boy, been brought up in humble surroundings, I can only wish Kieran Tierney a great career.Ā
"Been brilliant for Celtic. Good luck mate".
We told how 22-year-old Tierney was pictured for the first time today since he jetted out to London to finalise his reported Ā£75,000 per week contract.
