Celtic captain Scott Brown has backed Stuart Armstrong to be a success at Southampton after the midfielder signed a four-year deal with the Saints, STV reports.
Armstrong and Brown formed a formidable midfielder partnership together at Celtic which has now come to an end, with Armstrong sealing a move to Premier League side Southampton.
Hoops captain Brown believes Armstrong has all the qualities to be a big hit in the Premier League and admitted that the Scottish champions will miss his midfield presence.
Brown spoke to STV.
Stuart will be fantastic down there, he’s done it in the Champions League for us.
He’ll be a huge miss for us because he is great about the place with the lads.
On the field as well he’s got legs, an ability some players haven’t got – to go past people, to score goals, to create chances – but it was right for both parties.
We wish Stuart all the best, he knows what I think of him, he’s going to be a big miss for me especially, with his legs in the middle of the park.
