Scott Brown urges Celtic to sign Dundee United defender Will Ferry

Former Celtic captain Scott Brown has publicly recommended that the club pursue a transfer for Dundee United left-back Will Ferry before the current window closes. Brown’s endorsement follows Ferry's standout performance during Dundee United's 3-0 victory against Kilmarnock on August 31, 2026. The 25-year-old defender, currently valued at approximately £1.7 million, has been cited for his ability to contribute both defensively and in the attack, with Brown drawing stylistic comparisons to Kieran Tierney. Ferry has already been the subject of reported interest, though he did not pursue a move during previous windows. With the transfer deadline approaching, the feedback suggests Ferry represents a cost-effective option for Celtic to strengthen their squad depth with a player already experienced in the Scottish Premiership.
