    Genuinely think people are gonna be surprised how much better he is than when he left.

    This is a ridiculous signing for us. Literally only possible because of his links to us and also rejecting a lot more pretentious leagues and money to come back.

    Clearly the way he snuck out the back door on his exit has stayed with him, time to make amends as our next captain and 6/7 high level years

    Each to their own but that's not my take on his exit, he was always going to a better stage, just lets celebrate the fact that he is coming home, and like you say, should be our captain in a few seasons.

    I would love to see BR shake up his formation a bit in pre season, by going 3 at the back, with KT left side, would be agreat to have such a good ball playing center half and with the likes of Maeda jota and Khud able to play the wing back roles, should make for a really dynamic set up, especially against SPL dross. New striker and Idah up top.

    Having watched Taylor for years I can't believe there are some people actually questioning the return of one the best left backs ever to play for us.

    As for his decision to go to Arsenal, I'd like to see any man on here decline that payrise...

    If we keep our current players it will be the best back five we've had in a long long long time...

    Everytime I see this bumped I prepare myself to see he’s out till after the window. Nailed on for last game of the season, when he comes on for five minutes.


    The news we’re talking for a deal for Schlupp who’s keen to stay permanently, and Tierney on a bosman. That’s perfect for me, Schlupp is already a massive upgrade. KT is world class, if he stayed fit after his first season at Arsenal (when he was linked to * Real Madrid) he’d be first choice at one of the very elite teams.

    He’s such an upgrade, even with injuries and his love for us, getting him in is a major coup. Having Schlupp there as well, next seasons back up is twice the player of the first choice we went into this year with.

    And that’s something that can keep Tierney fit, Schlupp coming in to rest him and manage his games/fitness is not quite seamless because the level that Tierney is but it’s a level of quality to bring in instead that’s very high for a back up at Celtic.

    With KT being first choice, I’m only expecting at best he can play half the games a season. And that’s enough.

    Personally, everyone leaves with my best wishes unless they portray themselves as being in it for the long haul.

    Ange saying on multiple occasions things like he’ll be at Celtic as long as we want him then being presented at Spurs in the space of a month is my prime example

    KT taking a walk down the park while we play a CL play off when he presented himself as something different was the issue.

    Good 80mins or so under his belt tonight.
    Getting regular sub appearance plus training is almost perfect to allow full recuperation and build up fitness and get the hammy strong again for next season.
    Just hope Scotland games don't mess with the plan.

    Really excited about KT coming hame.
    KT, Jeff, Jota and Maeda will give us real strength in depth on the left flank, plenty options for rotation,
    And Scales to come in too when well ahead in games,

    Honestly buzzinf for him to come back in the summer. What a player we are getting! To have him back I’d great but we will have an improved version in his peak years. If he stays fit it’s unbelievable business

    It's actually pretty * nuts that we are getting him in his prime. It's as crazy as getting lets say Alexander Isak up front. A close to/world class player. This dont happen every day.

    This signing alone will take us to another level. Imagine if we get it right in other signings. Could be in for something very special.

    While I don’t doubt it’s a good signing for the club, at least on paper, it is nowhere near the level of signing a player like Alexander Isak.
