Kieran Tierney

Is that legit?

 

88 followers....... I'm all in.

 

Exactly why i asked if thats legit. Not on X so cant see how many followers, but the whole 88? I’ll file under BS currently

 

It's his birthday, his special day so we can excuse that one!

 

How can there be an obligation to buy if he’s out of contract in the summer? That’s the confusing part of that

 

I might since I'm in a good mood

 

Confident KT will be back.....but 'obligation to buy' tells me the tweet is bullshit/clickbait.

 

You'll know who it is if Hoopy is on the Masked Singer on Saturday night

 

If he was to sign for us in January, would he be cup tied for the play offs ?! See he got substituted on for Arsenal tonight

 

Cup ties in Europe was done away with 5 years ago or so.

 

Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney is on the verge of agreeing a pre-contract with Celtic to seal an emotional return to the Scottish Premiership champions.

Tierney, 27, is out of contract at the Emirates Stadium in the summer and has been free to talk to clubs about moving as a free agent for the 2025/26 season. He turned down opportunities to pursue a move abroad or to stay in the Premier League in favour of a return to Parkhead


German champions Bayer Leverkusen, Sevilla in Spain and Italian giants Juventus were interested in taking the Scotland international without a fee in the summer. Everton also showed an interest as they look to bolster David Moyes’s left-back options.

But Tierney has now moved close to re-signing for Celtic, having left them six years ago for Arsenal in a £25 million move. It still remains to be seen what Arsenal’s plans are for the rest of the season, with Tierney making three appearances in January. Their other left-back options include Jakub Kiwior, Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Tierney endured injury frustration at times under Mikel Arteta, who took over from Unai Emery in Tierney’s first season in English football, and recently had six months out with hamstring problems suffered at Euro 2024.


Arteta used Tierney further advanced on the pitch when he returned from injury, saying: “He’s playing to his strengths. That’s something that we have to continue to learn, because they give you a lot of information. They tell you, not sometimes with their words, but with a lot of information, where they feel more comfortable and certainly there is a much better fit for him.”

In his first spell at Celtic, he graduated from their academy before making his first-team breakthrough in 2015 and going onto win four titles and two Scottish Cups. Brendan Rodgers has discussed his January plans for Celtic but remained tight-lipped on Tierney’s return.

“Kieran was an instrumental part of a really, really successful period when I was here,” Rodgers said. “His talents then took him to another challenge but we’ll be linked with lots of names and with Kieran naturally because of his situation. But we’ll only talk about a player once he’s signed.”

He’s come hame, but is it January or Summer? Rather it be now.

 

All the chat is pointing to the summer.

 

How many * have tweeted on the verge of concluding a deal. Was the same with Bernardo in the summer. Just people taking punts on strong rumours that are already out there. Don’t get what people get out of pretending to be in the know on social media. No offence Crow

 

Feels like he's been on the verge for a fortnight.
