Brendan pictured with Celtic fan favourite, heavily linked with return

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has been pictured with fan favourite Kieran Tierney in London. The Arsenal fullback was linked with a return to Paradise in the summer before picking up a hamstring injury with Scotland at the Euros.

The duo, who were close during Rodgers’ first spell at the club, were pictured engaged in a conversation at Celtic’s Gala Dinner in London.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta reportedly made the decision to sell Tierney before his injury with the left back being made available for £10m. KT has under two years remaining on his deal with the Gunners and they’ll be keen to recoup some of the £25m that they paid to Celtic back in 2019.

Tierney made 170 appearances for Celtic between 2015 and 2019. During his time at the club, he scored 8 goals and provided 37 assists across all competitions.

Tierney was a key player in Celtic’s domestic success under Rodgers, helping them win multiple Scottish Premiership titles, Scottish Cups, and League Cups before departing to England.

    Sadly Kieren has succumbed to injury and could not withstand the rigours of a full season at Celtic. It would be folly to even consider to bring him back.
