Since the start of this window, Kieran Tierney has been linked with a move away from the club.
There has only ever been one club chasing but for the longest time we’ve been told Napoli are involved and will bid for the player.
When Carlo Ancelotti brought his side to Scotland on Sunday to take part in a glamour tie with Liverpool, the inevitable question came his way about Kieran Tierney.
I don’t think the media got the answer they were looking for when the Italian praised Kieran Tierney but made it clear he was not in the market for a left back this window.
“Am I aware of Kieran Tierney?” the Napoli manager told HearaldScotland. “I know him and he is a really good player. He is a really good young left back. But he is a Celtic player.
“We are looking for a lot of players for this coming season, but he is a Celtic player and we have two good left backs. But honestly I can say he is a really good player.”
Tierney is still currently out injured and there is no timeframe for his return to the first team. A double hernia operation in the summer in a bid to fix his hip problem is still very much the cause of his absence so far in this campaign.
