Overview

  • Celtic confirmed his return on June 10 with a five-year contract running until summer 2030.

  • The 28-year-old defender made 170 appearances and won 10 trophies in his first spell at Celtic, including three consecutive domestic trebles.
  • Brendan Rodgers hailed Tierney as a “massive addition” whose talent and motivation will bolster Celtic’s hopes in domestic competitions and Europe.
  • A regular for Scotland with 50 caps, Tierney said he is excited to don the Celtic strip again and aims to help the club maintain its winning standards.
