Celtic fans have much to look forward to this summer as club legend Kieran Tierney is set to officially return to the Hoops in July 2025.

Tierney, who graduated from Celtic’s famed youth academy, first made his breakthrough into the first team before securing a high-profile transfer to Arsenal in 2019 for a reported fee of £25 million.

Over his initial stint with Celtic, the 27-year-old left-back made an impressive 170 appearances and quickly became a fan favourite due to his tenacity, skill, and unwavering commitment to the club.

Despite his undeniable talent, Tierney’s time at Arsenal has been hampered by injury troubles and inconsistent playing time.

After suffering a series of setbacks, including a tough knee injury, he found himself on loan at Real Sociedad last season to regain fitness and form. Now, with his contract ending, Tierney is eager to return to Scotland and reignite his career at the club where he first rose to prominence.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed the deal in January 2025, expressing hope that the transfer could be completed before the summer transfer window opens.

Rodgers believes Tierney’s return will provide a major boost to the team, both on and off the pitch. “Having Kieran back in the squad is something that excites us all. He’s a proven leader and a player who understands what it means to wear the Celtic jersey,” Rodgers said.

Financially, Celtic have also been showing strength as revealed in their interim financial report. The club posted a substantial £44 million profit before tax, alongside £65 million in available funds.

This financial stability gives Celtic the confidence to plan ambitious squad improvements ahead of the new season, with Tierney’s return as a cornerstone of their rebuilding strategy.

Alongside Tierney’s comeback, Celtic are actively scouting additional talent to strengthen their squad further. The club is reportedly targeting several signings, aiming to build a team capable of challenging for the Scottish Premiership and making a significant impact in European competitions.

Fans of the Hoops are understandably buzzing with excitement as the summer approaches. Kieran Tierney’s homecoming represents not just the return of a talented defender, but the revival of a beloved club figure ready to inspire the next generation of Celtic players and supporters alike.

With the official announcement expected soon and preparations underway, Celtic’s summer of 2025 promises to be one of the most significant in recent memory.
