Kieran Tierney is back home in Paradise | OneFootball

Kieran Tierney is back home in Paradise, having signed a five-year deal with the Scottish Champions which will see him remain at Celtic until at least the summer of 2030.

The 28-year-old is delighted to be back at the club and he can’t wait to pull on the Hoops again and run out at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 supporters.

Having come through the Celtic Youth Academy, Tierney made his first-team debut back in April 2015 at the age of 17, and went on to make a total of 170 appearances for the Hoops, scoring eight goals before joining Arsenal in 2019.

And during that first spell with Celtic, he won 10 major trophies, including three consecutive Trebles.

Most of those trophies came under the stewardship of Brendan Rodgers, and the Celtic manager, who returned to the club back in 2023, is pleased to be reunited with his former player.

Brendan Rodgers said: “We are delighted to welcome Kieran back to Celtic. He is such a talented, high-quality player and he will be a massive addition to our squad.

“Kieran has always had Celtic in his blood and he is excited to be coming back to the place he loves.

“He is someone who has given so much to Celtic already and I know he is so motivated and hungry to help the club bring more and more success to our fans.

“We are so pleased to bring such an elite player back to the club and I look forward to working with him again and the rest of the squad, as we face the many challenges ahead at home and in Europe.”

And Kieran Tierney admitted he is thrilled to be a Celtic player again.

“Everybody’s known for a few months and just to be here with the Celtic strip on again just feels amazing,” he said.

“I spoke with the manager, and obviously I had worked with him before and I’ve always kept in touch with him. He’s one of the best so I’m so lucky and grateful that he’s given me the chance to come back again.

“When you move away from home, you grow up, you learn different things. I was in Spain for a year, learning a different language and playing in a different league, so I’m definitely a different person.

“Player-wise, it’s the same as I always say – I’ll try and work my hardest, I’ll do my best for the club and that’s all I can do.

“My ambition is just for Celtic to be as successful as possible, retain our place at the top and continue to win trophies and do well for Celtic.”
