Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney has told FourFourTwo that he will always love Celtic.

Tierney came through the Celtic youth system and starred in the first team for a number of years.

The Scotland international left-back moved to Premier League club Arsenal in the summer of 2019.

The 24-year-old left-back has said that he loves it at Arsenal, but he has made it clear that he will always love Celtic.

Tierney told FourFourTwo: “I love it at Arsenal and I’m well looked-after. Time is also a healer and my love for Celtic will never change – I hope people realise that. The decision to leave was the hardest of my life.”

Celtic Bhoy

Tierney comes across as a very nice young man in his media interviews.

The left-back also does well on the pitch, both for Arsenal and for Scotland.

During his time at Celtic, the Scotland international established himself as one of the best young left-backs in Europe.

Now at Arsenal, Tierney is widely regarded as one of the best left-backs in the Premier League.

The 24-year-old won the Scottish Premiership title four times, and the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup on two occasions each.

Celtic are a massive club, but the Premier League is the most watched and biggest domestic league in the world.

Tierney needed to move to England to progress as a footballer.
