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.
