Kieran Tierney has picked Scott Brown as the best player he has ever played with as branded the Old Firm derby as 'mental'.
The former Celtic star - who moved to Arsenal back in 2019 for a whopping £25million fee - rubbished suggestions that the North London Derby is a bigger. He admits it is games like that he misses most about the Hoops as he joined Scott Bailey on toppersgolf.
The Scotland international took on a range of challenges on the course as the pair discussed the biggest game he's ever played in and the best player he has ever played alongside. His answers won't come as a surprise to those north of the border. He said: "Biggest game pressure wise would probably be Celtic vs Rangers. That derby is mental man. Especially when you're from that area. You know how much it means. Games like that I miss, I still get excited watching them though."
Tierney has established himself as a fans' favourite at the Emirates since his move to the Gunners three years ago. He has played alongside some top talents like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard. Fellow talents like Gabriel Jesus have joined former Rangers and current Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta's side this summer.
But it is former Celtic skipper and now Fleetwood Town boss Brown who is the top man in the eyes of KT as he pointed out the key reasons behind his decision.

He added: "Best player I've played with? Probably Scott Brown. 100 per cent. As a whole football player, a leader, legend in the changing room.
"On and off the park. The most influential player by far."
