Aaron Hickey receives bizarre Bologna welcome as former Hearts youngster prepares for quick-fire debut

Bologna have produced a bizarre Loch Ness Monster inspired video to officially welcome Aaron Hickey to the club.

The teenage left back has finally completed his move to the Serie A club from Hearts and they documented the move as many clubs do in the modern day, with a crazy social media video.

And in this one they focus on the Loch Ness Monster and it includes the obligatory bagpipe music over the top as a hand reaches down into the lake and pulls out a Nessie toy.

That then goes back to Hickey holding it up who says: "I'm here and I'm real."

Bologna also captioned the video with: “They thought he was a myth, they hunted high and low, they believed he would appear.

“Now he’s here and he’s real.

"Our Flower of Scotland."

Hickey is also set for an immediate debut for Bologna after their first-choice left back was sent off in the 2-0 defeat to AC Milan on Wednesday night.

Mitchell Dijks was shown a second yellow card and that could allow Hickey to get an opportunity when his side take on Parma on Monday.

That could see Hickey come up against former Rangers defender Bruno Alves.

The fee for Hickey came in at £1.7million, with Celtic pocketing around £450k from a sell-on clause.
