Kieran Tierney is returning to the Celtic team.
It’s been a tough day for Celtic fans after Brendan Rodgers decided to quit the club to join Leicester City, BBC Sport reported
One good piece of news around is surrounding youngster Kieran Tierney.
Tierney has been out for months, missing out on Celtic’s Europa League knockout games along with December’s Old Firm defeat.
He made his comeback at the weekend, playing for 68 minutes in the win over Motherwell.
Former Celtic ace John Hartson told The Evening Times: “Having Kieran Tierney back feels a lot like having a new signing back in the team.
“I just think the energy he brings to that left-hand side is so important to the way that Celtic play and I was delighted to see him take the armband for the game against Motherwell.
“The timing of his return is perfect.”
Tierney is a leader for Celtic, even at just 21 years old.
Celtic need as many players like him as they can get right now, especially with Rodgers departure going through.
The club will need him for the game with Rangers next month in particular.
