Former Celtic captain Scott Brown thinks the club should move for Dundee United left-back Will Ferry in the final days of the transfer window.

It comes after the Irishman scored a goal of the season contender in his side's 3-0 victory away at Kilmarnock on Saturday.

Celtic are reported to be interested in Ferry, and Brown reckons a deal makes sense.

"Will Ferry for me was incredible today from start to finish, and they will do well to hold onto him," he said on Sportscene. "I think if you’re looking at Celtic at this moment in time, he’s similar to Kieran.

"He’s powerful, he wants to drive forward, very good crosser of the ball.

"I think a lot of people naturally think he just wants to go forward all the time, but he’s a very, very good defender, that’s what Kieran is as well.

"It would be a very good move for Celtic if they go and snap him up, because there’s been a bid for £1.7million already, and he didn’t want to go.

"It’s quite a cheap option to go and hopefully get a person who knows the league."

The transfer window shuts in Scotland on Thursday, September 3 at 5pm. But Celtic have until 11pm the day before to register a 25-man Europa League squad.
