Kieran Tierney could be on the brink of a sensational return to Celtic, as the Scottish international reportedly considers a loan move back to his boyhood club. Current Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is eager to bring the left-back back to Parkhead, seeing Tierney as a key addition to strengthen his squad.
The Arsenal defender has faced limited game time this season under Mikel Arteta, fueling speculation about his future at the Emirates. A loan move to Celtic would provide Tierney with the opportunity to reignite his career and play a pivotal role in Rodgers’ plans.
Rodgers, who initially coached Tierney during his first spell at Celtic, knows the player’s strengths well. The former Celtic manager was instrumental in Tierney’s development before the defender’s record-breaking £25 million transfer to Arsenal in 2019.
While Celtic fans eagerly anticipate a reunion, negotiations remain ongoing. Arsenal’s willingness to sanction the loan deal and Tierney’s openness to return to Glasgow are seen as positive indicators. However, the move might hinge on financial agreements and assurances about Tierney’s playing time.
If the deal materializes, Tierney’s experience and defensive capabilities could significantly bolster Celtic’s domestic and European campaigns. For Tierney, it would mean a chance to play regular football in a familiar environment and reconnect with a club and fanbase that holds a special place in his heart.
As talks progress, Celtic supporters will watch with anticipation, hoping for the return of one of their own.
