The Hoops fans' favourite has been officially paraded by the club after returning from Arsenal
Kieran Tierney has officially been unveiled as a Celtic player after penning a five-year deal with his boyhood club.
The Scotland defender, 28, has completed an emotional return to Parkhead after the expiry of his contract at Arsenal.
‌
Speaking for the first time, Tierney said: 'Everybody's known for a few months and just to be here with the Celtic strip on again just feels amazing.
‌
'I spoke with the manager, and obviously I had worked with him before and I've always kept in touch with him.
"He's one of the best so I'm so lucky and grateful that he's given me the chance to come back again.
'When you move away from home, you grow up, you learn different things. I was in Spain for a year, learning a different language and playing in a different league, so I'm definitely a different person.
'Player-wise, it's the same as I always say – I'll try and work my hardest, I'll do my best for the club and that's all I can do.
'My ambition is just for Celtic to be as successful as possible, retain our place at the top and continue to win trophies and do well for Celtic.'
Boss Brendan Rodgers said: 'We are delighted to welcome Kieran back to Celtic. He is such a talented, high-quality player and he will be a massive addition to our squad.
‌
'Kieran has always had Celtic in his blood and he is excited to be coming back to the place he loves.
'He is someone who has given so much to Celtic already and I know he is so motivated and hungry to help the club bring more and more success to our fans.
'We are so pleased to bring such an elite player back to the club and I look forward to working with him again and the rest of the squad, as we face the many challenges ahead at home and in Europe.'
