Kieran Tierney

All the best KT

Don’t understand it but accept it!

 

We'll atleast we can move on now, all the best.

 

CELTIC Football Club today confirmed that Kieran Tierney has signed for Arsenal FC, after completing a medical earlier in London.

We did all we could to keep Kieran at Celtic. While the club did not need or wish to sell Kieran, this was an opportunity which Kieran very much wished to pursue and with the club having received a significant offer, we have agreed to the transfer.

Kieran has been a big part of the club for a number of years, coming through our Academy structure and becoming a key first team player of real quality.

He has made a significant contribution to Celtic and we thank him very much for all he has given to the club and, of course, we wish him very well for the future in his career.

Celtic Manager Neil Lennon said: “This is an opportunity Kieran wanted to take and while we will be sad to see him leave the club, we wish Kieran all the very best for the future.

“Although he is still a young guy, Kieran has given the club so much. He’s a great lad and I’ve really enjoyed working with him. I’m sure he will continue to progress and develop and make a big impact in the English Premiership.

“It has obviously been a long process, but now it has been finalised we can now look ahead and concentrate on continuing to build our own squad and meet the many challenges ahead, domestically and in Europe.

“We had a really good performance and result last night at a difficult venue and I would like to thank our fans for travelling to Romania and supporting us so well. Yet again, the team had such great support in Europe and we are hugely grateful for that.

“We look ahead to next week with confidence but of course realise we still have a lot of work to do against a very good team.”

 

Best left back of my generation.

Still as a Celtic man I couldn’t have gone this close to 10 in a row

 

Liked Boli Bolingoli more anyway

 

Seeing him in an Arsenal top gives me the boke

 

Good luck KT..

 

So the papers saying KT pushed for the move according to the club where right....

 

All the best KT.

Hopefully a 10/15% sell on clause for when he moves to Man City in 2 years for £90m.

 

Goodbye, legend. All the best.

 

Thats it then

 

Best of luck lad hope you smash it down there he’ll be back

 

Jesus that hurts seeing in ex players.

 

Should post this into his twitter feed...

 

Agreed. Stay for the 10 and leave a legend. Even more baffling that he asked to go (according to the statement). Good luck to him but we move on to bigger things namely 9iar!!!!!!

 

Sorry murph 170 games and wanting to * off to England doesn’t make him legend in my opinion mate!

313 games and 242 goals and countless years of consistent performances makes you a legend.

 

I’m sad he has left but at the end of the day. He has to look at his future not as a Celtic fan but what is best for his career and ultimately what is going to make him money. I won’t begrudge him for that.

 

Scottish international Kieran Tierney has joined us from Celtic on a long-term deal.


The 22-year-old was born in the Isle of Man and had been with his boyhood club since the age of seven. He made 170 appearances for Celtic and has played 12 times for Scotland.

The defender completed a medical at London Colney on Thursday and will immediately join-up with his new team mates. He will wear the No 3 shirt.

Unai Emery said: “We’re delighted Kieran is joining us. He’s a very talented player who will continue to improve. He increases our options defensively and I look forward to him joining our group.”

The deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.
