# Celtic captain believes Armstrong will be a success at Saints

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](https://stv.tv/sport/football/1420786-brown-armstrong-will-be-hugely-missed-in-celtic-midfield/)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.
