Shocking News:Celtic star refuses to sign a new deal and is determined to leave the club.
Celtic supporters are urging Brendan Rodgers to re-sign local hero Kieran Tierney in the January transfer window after a picture of the pair went viral on social media.
Rodgers was attending a Celtic FC foundation charity event in London when he was pictured in deep conversation with the former Hoops stalwart.
The charity foundation shared the post on Instagram with the caption: “The gaffer and KT. A massive thank you to Brendan and Kieran for being here in London for our Annual Gala Dinner.”
Underneath the post many Celtic fans commented: ‘Bring him home’, with many others commenting ‘up the road’ and ‘get him back.’
Tierney is a lifelong Celtic fan, who joined the club’s academy when he was just seven years old. He quickly gained a reputation for being a rising star after a string of impressive performances at reserve level and was handed his first team debut in April 2015 under Ronny Deila.
The versatile defender won SFWA Young Player of the Year in the next three consecutive seasons whilst helping Celtic to three league titles, two Scottish Cups, two League Cups and even an unbeaten season in 2016/17.
Tierney left Celtic in 2019 to complete a move to English giants Arsenal for £25m – a Premiership record fee at the time. He helped the Gunners to FA Cup glory and was initially a stalwart under Mikel Arteta, but due to a combination of injuries and new signings, the 47-time Scotland international gradually fell down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium.
He spent last season on loan at Real Sociedad and is reportedly now seen as surplus to requirements despite being under contract until 2026. Tierney failed to make a move in the summer due to a serious hamstring injury sustained at Euro 2024 but looks increasingly likely to depart in January.
