Could A Celtic Return Lure Tierney Back?

Tierney played over 170 matches for Celtic and secured five Scottish Premiership championships during his tenure with the team.

In a 2022 interview on The Currie Club podcast hosted by Darrell Currie, Tierney left the door open for a possible comeback to Celtic.

"I believe that when a player who has a strong affection for the club departs, there's always that lingering thought of 'could he return someday?' and you can never completely dismiss that possibility," he remarked.
