Celtic confirm Kieran Tierney return on five-year deal
Last updated 10th Jun 2025
Celtic have confirmed the return of Kieran Tierney on a five-year deal.
The 28-year old returns to Parkhead six years after making the move to Arsenal for £25million.
A pre-contract deal was agreed between the club and Tierney months ago - with the club now officially acknowledging his move.
The Scotland international won four Premiership titles, two Scottish Cups and two League Cups during his first spell.
A promotional video posted by the club shows Tierney will wear the number 63 shirt again.
Tierney told the club's official website: “Everybody’s known for a few months and just to be here with the Celtic strip on again just feels amazing.
“I spoke with the manager, and obviously I had worked with him before and I’ve always kept in touch with him. He’s one of the best so I’m so lucky and grateful that he’s given me the chance to come back again.
“When you move away from home, you grow up, you learn different things. I was in Spain for a year, learning a different language and playing in a different league, so I’m definitely a different person.
“Player-wise, it’s the same as I always say – I’ll try and work my hardest, I’ll do my best for the club and that’s all I can do.
“My ambition is just for Celtic to be as successful as possible, retain our place at the top and continue to win trophies and do well for Celtic.”
