PEAKY BLINDERS actor Paul Anderson, who plays gang member Arthur Shelby, has paid tribute to Celtic star Kieran Tierney.
Filming is underway on the fifth series of the Birmingham-based drama, which also stars Irish actor Cillian Murphy.
However it appears at least one Shelby sibling isn’t a fan of either Aston Villa or Birmingham.
In a video posted on the Celtic defender’s Twitter account, Anderson is shown holding Tierney’s signed hoops jersey.

“Glasgow’s green and F****** white,” he says, adding: “Kieran, this is for you son, by order of the f****** Peaky Blinders.”
Shelby/Anderson then kisses the club badge.
The video went down a storm with Celtic fans, but not so well with supporters of other clubs.
