Celtic Signs Kieran Tierney on Five-Year Free Transfer

Kieran Tierney has officially rejoined Celtic on a five-year contract after his Arsenal contract expired, returning to his boyhood club where he previously made 170 appearances and won multiple honors. The 28-year-old Scotland international spent the 2023-24 season on loan at Real Sociedad in Spain, which he says helped him grow personally and professionally. Tierney is reunited with Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, under whom he won seven major trophies during his earlier Celtic spell. Despite interest from other European clubs, Tierney chose to return to Celtic, aiming to help the team maintain its dominance in Scottish football and compete strongly for trophies. Rodgers praised Tierney as a talented player with a strong connection to Celtic, expressing optimism about his impact on the squad. Tierney's return has been met with enthusiasm from Celtic supporters, who are excited to see the academy graduate and former ballboy back in the club's colors.
