Celtic fans had their worst fears confirmed today.

Brendan Rodgers looks to be on the brink of quitting Celtic for Leicester City after agreeing a three-year deal with the Premier League side [The Scottish Sun].

But another report from the sam publication has added to the Hoops fans’ worries.

According to The Scottish Sun, Arsenal are readying a £25 million summer bid for 21-year-old Celtic defender Kieran Tierney.

The Scotland international is one of the most exciting young left-backs in Europe and supporters of the Parkhead side just didn’t need that speculation, the day that’s in it.

Here’s how some of them reacted:

Tierney is a top talent but would he join the Gunners? Potentially.

He is a Celtic academy graduate and therefore has a great sense of loyalty toward the club, but without Rodgers steering the ship toward an unprecedented 10-in-a-row then maybe he might look to follow the Northern Irishman down South.

The good news is that Tierney has another four years left on his contract, so £25 million might not be enough to prise him from Glasgow, given his talent and profile.
