Tierney is on the sidelines at the moment with ankle ligament damage he sustained during training.
The 19-year-old left-back is one of the best players in the current Celtic squad and is one of the best players in the Scottish Premiership.
The Scotland international has revealed that he hopes to return to action after the New Year.
“The recovery has gone well so far,” Tierney told The Scottish Sun. “There’s not much I can do just now, just a bit of upper-body work, but I’m looking forward to getting off these crutches to get out and start running again.
“The ideal time would be after New Year. That would be another half-season for me.”
Celtic are at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 31 points from 11 matches, 10 points clear of second-placed Aberdeen with a game in hand.
The Glasgow giants will take on Kilmarnock away from home at Rugby Park in the Scottish Premiership next week.
The Bhoys are also playing in the Champions League this season after a two-year absence.
Brendan Rodgers’s side are currently at the foot of Group C with just two points from four matches.
Celtic are unlikely to progress to the last-16 stage of the Champions League, but the Hoops should be able to clinch the Scottish Premiership title with relative ease.
