On This Day we wish a Happy Birthday to former Celtic fullback Kieran Tierney, who turns 25 today. The left-back was a big miss from Scotland’s team that lost 3-1 to Ukraine on Wednesday but he will be hoping to get himself fit ahead of the start of the new season.

The left-back made over 170 appearances for Celtic, winning five league titles and three League Cups and Scottish Cups during his time whilst enjoying hero status with supporters as being ‘one of us’. The former Celtic defender left the Scottish Champions in the summer of 2019 for a fee in the region of £25m, becoming the most expensive Scottish export.
A number of clubs have been linked with a move for Tierney as he is touted to make a step away from North London to progress his career. You have to imagine that Tierney, who has made over 80 appearances for Arsenal, is worth over the £50m mark.
Celtic will, as they always have for exports, a sell-on fee meaning that if rebuilding Barca or Real Madrid came in for him, Celtic could stand to make a fortune from the player. It is expected that there is a 15-20% of profit from the deal sell-on clause, which is eye-watering when you consider some of the fees in football.
