Celtic Fans Urged to “Get Ready” for Kieran Tierney’s Return
The rumors surrounding Kieran Tierney’s potential return to Celtic have been circulating for weeks, and now, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano has added fuel to the fire. Responding to a tweet about Barcelona’s plans to recall left-back Alex Valle from Celtic, Romano confidently stated, “I expect Tierney to go to Celtic, telling you for some weeks now… get ready.”
This bold statement has sent Celtic fans into a frenzy, with many eagerly anticipating the return of their former star. Tierney, who has struggled for consistent first-team opportunities at Arsenal, is reportedly keen on a move back to his boyhood club.
While nothing is confirmed, Romano’s comments suggest that a deal is close. However, any potential transfer would hinge on reaching an agreement with Arsenal, even if a pre-contract agreement is signed. The Scotland international is under contract with the Gunners until the summer, and Arsenal are unlikely to let him leave without securing a favorable deal.
Celtic’s need for reinforcements in the left-back position is growing, with Greg Taylor’s current contract set to expire this summer. Resolving the situation quickly is essential, whether by retaining Taylor or securing Tierney’s services.
The prospect of completing the deal within the current transfer window remains uncertain. While fans may be optimistic, the financial aspects of the move could pose a challenge. Arsenal are unlikely to let Tierney leave without securing a deal that’s favorable for them.
However, Romano’s comments suggest that Celtic fans should be prepared for an announcement sooner rather than later. The return of Tierney would be a significant boost to the club, and his experience and quality would undoubtedly strengthen the team.
Some fans, however, have expressed caution about the potential transfer. Jim Duffy, a Celtic fan, commented, “Not a big deal, Kieran with his injury problem is not the answer… imagine him playing at Killie ground or up against the thugs and hammer throwers in the SPFL.”
Others, like Pan, have also expressed skepticism about the transfer, stating, “This is not the answer. Neither is Taylor.”
However, not all fans share the same concerns. The Real Anton Rogan, a Celtic supporter, disagreed with the negative comments, stating, “KT’s recent injuries can be attributed to his ‘full-on’ type of play when not fully match fit… Up until the action man heid in charge at Arsenal dropped him, he was fine. If we manage his time, he’ll be fine, and we are getting a substantial upgrade at LB.”
As the transfer window continues to heat up, Celtic fans will be keeping a close eye on developments surrounding Tierney’s potential return. While nothing is confirmed, Romano’s comments suggest that a deal is close, and fans should be prepared for an announcement sooner rather than later.
