Aaron Hickey revisits Celtic contract snub as Brentford star lifts the lid on his dad's hilarious Parkhead reaction

Brentford full-back Aaron Hickey has looked back on his decision to choose a contract with Hearts over Celtic - insisting it was the "right decision" for his career.

The 20-year-old has went from strength to strength after leaving Tynecastle for a successful two years in Serie A with Bologna, which caught the eye of English Premier League side Brentford last summer. He has been a regular for Thomas Frank's side and has faced off against giants Manchester United and Arsenal - including the 4-0 rout of Erik ten Hag's side.

Hickey is also becoming a regular in Steve Clarke's Scotland side and made a key contribution coming off the bench in the 3-0 Nations League victory at Hampden. Now the defender has reflected on the decision as a teenager to turn down the Glasgow giants in favour of a move to the capital where Craig Levein gave him his first-team debut aged just 16.
