Scottish starlet Kieran Tierney has committed his future to Celtic in a glowing interview, and Hoops fans are buzzing.
Celtic’s promising fullback Kieran Tierney has had his name bandied around in transfer rumours over the last few weeks, reportedly attracting attention from Europa League champions Atletico Madrid, according to BBC Sport and most recently Bournemouth.
However the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year has done little to fuel rumours of an exit, and has expressed his desire to further develop under the tutelage of Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers for the foreseeable future.
And now the 20-year-old has reassured Hoops supporters that he’s going nowhere:
“I’m playing with the club I love.” The Scot said to Sky Sports Scotland. “Everyone knows that, I don’t hide that. I’ve got over five-years left at Celtic, and that’s why I signed it. I’ve committed my long-term future to the club I love, and that’s all I can say about it.”
Celtic fans were understandably chuffed and took to Twitter to commend Tierney for his commendable attitude, here’s the reaction:
Fans will be sure to show their appreciation for Tierney’s comments on Saturday, as Rodgers’ champions take on Motherwell in the Scottish Cup final, and aim to complete the first “double treble” in Scottish football history.
