The left-back is preparing for a return to his boyhood club.

The 27-year-old has already agreed a pre-contract deal with the Hoops, with Brendan Rodgers confirming the move back in January. Tierney is set to rejoin the Scottish champions after his time with Arsenal comes to an end this summer.

His Arsenal career will be over on Sunday, after the Gunners face Southampton in the last game of the season.

His presence at the national stadium will only heighten the anticipation among supporters, with the fan favourite poised to make a full-circle return to Celtic Park after a five-season spell in North London and a loan stint in Spain with Real Sociedad.

Tierney’s homecoming is expected to bring added quality and depth to Celtic’s defence, with his versatility and European experience proving valuable as the club prepare for another crack at the Champions League next season.

For now, the left-back will watch on as his future teammates look to secure a domestic treble – a feat he knows well, having been a key part of Brendan Rodgers’ first all-conquering Celtic sides.
