Brendan Rodgers was quizzed on a possible swoop for the Arsenal defender who is set to leave on a free transfer
It's understood the Scotland international will become a free agent at the end of the season after Arsenal opted not to take up the additional option in his contract. KT has never hidden his desire to return to his beloved club and Rodgers has always remained close with the 27-year-old.
Tierney will likely have options in England and across Europe but it's believed he would be keen on a move back to his boyhood heroes. Celts are in the market for a left-back, with Greg Taylor yet to agree new terms and Alex Valle due to return to Barcelona in the summer. Asked if the Hoops academy graduate is a player of interest, Rodgers typically kept his cards close to his chest as he told Sky Sports: "Well, Kieran is someone I know really well but there's lots of players who have been linked with coming to Celtic. We will never speak about a player, especially a young player that's at another club.
"But we've got work to do, we know that. We want to improve the squad further in a number of key areas. But until that happens, the players here have been working so well. We'll just continue to work with them and see what happens in January."
