Kieran Tierney looks set to re-join Celꦏtic too as Brendan Rodgers has all-but confirmed that a deal will go ahead at some point.

“At this moment he’s still an Arsenal player. So I think everyone would agree that (the move) will definitely take place in the summ😼er. If we can do it beforehand, then great,” Rodgers said.

Chris Sutton reacts to Kieran Tierney’s Celtic return

Sutton reacted to the news about Tierney returning to Celtiꦺc on social media.

Kieran Tierney stats first from first Celtic spell

The man will return to Celtic in the near future, and it’s fair to say that he’ll b𒁃e welcomed back with open arms.

The full-back was a real fan favourite during his fi�🗹�rst spell at Celtic Park, and the stats show why he was so beloved.

Tierney was, more often than not, on the winning team during his time at Celtic, and he more than made 🌳his contribution in an attacking sense, grabbing 37 assists from left-back.

Sutton is buzzing to see Tierney back in a hooped shirt, and he won’t be the only C🐭eltic supporter celebrating this news.

Whether or not a deal can be done in this transfer window remains to be seen, but wheth🌸er it’s no🃏w or in the summer, it looks like Tierney will be back north of the border before too long.
