Brendan Rodgers confirms Kieran Tierney's return to Celtic planned for summer

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Kieran Tierney will return to the club this summer after agreeing to a pre-contract with Arsenal, where he has been since leaving Celtic in a £25 million deal in 2019. While Tierney remains an Arsenal player, Rodgers expressed hope that a transfer could occur before the window closes, especially after the departure of on-loan left-back Alex Valle. The need for Tierney has intensified due to injuries and suspensions within the current squad, leaving Greg Taylor as the only recognized left-back. As negotiations continue, the situation remains fluid, with Celtic eager to finalize a deal to bring Tierney back to Glasgow sooner rather than later. The club is also looking to explore other options for the left-back position as they prepare for upcoming matches. Overall, the return of Tierney is seen as a positive move for both the player and the club, reigniting excitement among Celtic fans.
