Brendan Rodgers has led Celtic to memorable Champions League moments this season, steering the team through a thrilling campaign.
Under Rodgers’ guidance, Celtic secured victories against RB Leipzig, Young Boys, and Slovan Bratislava, while earning hard-fought away draws against Atalanta and Dinamo Zagreb.
These results propelled Celtic into the knockout stages, where they challenged Bayern Munich with a draw in Germany.
Though their European journey ended there, Rodgers turned his attention to Arsenal and Celtic-bound Kieran Tierney, celebrating their stunning triumph over Real Madrid to reach the semi-finals.
Brendan Rodgers hails Kieran Tierney & Arsenal’s ‘fantastic’ Champions League campaign:

Despite Celtic’s near miss in the round of 16, Rodgers took a moment to praise Arsenal and Tierney for their impressive two-leg victory over Real Madrid.
Speaking to Celtic TV, he said, “When he comes back, irrelevant of his experiences, we will improve as a squad when he comes back. But I’m really pleased for him.
“It was a fantastic performance by Arsenal over the two legs and to see him be involved in that is obviously a great experience for him. It’s going to be a really exciting five-star last couple of months for him there.”
With Arsenal now set to face PSG in the semi-finals, Tierney could potentially return to Celtic Park as a Champions League winner if the Gunners advance.
Rodgers says Celtic can ‘achieve a lot more’ when Tierney returns from Arsenal

Tierney’s anticipated return to Celtic promises to bolster the squad significantly. Rodgers is enthusiastic about the impact the Arsenal defender will have.
He added, “I know what we are getting with Kieran, the player we are getting back because when you work in the Premier League, every single week for you it’s like a big European game in the main.
“It’s so challenging, so testing and he’s had a number of years of that. But we’re getting him back at a brilliant age and hopefully he can help this squad achieve a lot more.”
With Tierney set to rejoin Celtic this summer and speculation that Greg Taylor may sign a new contract, Celtic’s left flank—featuring Tierney, Taylor, Jota, and Maeda—will pose a formidable threat.
This dynamic group is poised to dominate both domestically and in European competitions, giving opponents plenty to fear.
