Celtic confirm Kieran Tierney signing on free transfer from Arsenal
Celtic have announced the signing of Kieran Tierney on a free transfer when his Arsenal contract expires at the end of this month. The left-back has signed a five-year deal with Celtic, having previously come through their academy before leaving for Arsenal in 2019. The Athletic reported the deal on January 30, adding that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wanted Tierney to spend the rest of the 2024-25 season with the club to provide defensive cover and experience. Days earlier, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers had said the 28-year-old had 'definitely' agreed to re-join the Scottish champions. 'Everybody's known for a few months and just to be here with the Celtic strip on again just feels amazing,' Tierney said on rejoining his boyhood club, via the Celtic website. '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. Advertisement '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.' Tierney was free to discuss a summer move with clubs outside of England from January 1 after being told he would not be offered a new contract by Arsenal and that they would not be triggering a one-year extension option on his current contact. The left-back joined Arsenal in 2019 and won the FA Cup in 2020. He was a regular starter in the following two seasons but made only six league starts in 2022-23. Having slipped down the pecking order, he spent the 2023-24 campaign on loan in Spain with Real Sociedad, making 20 La Liga appearances. Tierney has won four Scottish Premiership titles, plus two Scottish Cups and two Scottish League Cups. He worked with Rodgers at Celtic during the manager's first stint in charge from 2016-19. Rodgers returned to Celtic Park in 2023.

Minor given one-year stadium ban after racist abuse of Barcelona's Lamine Yamal in El Clasico
A minor has been given a one-year stadium ban for directing racist abuse towards Barcelona's Lamine Yamal during El Clasico in October. The individual has also been given '30 hours of socio-educational tasks', according to La Liga. Videos from the game on social media appeared to show Yamal, 17, being subjected to racist abuse from Real Madrid fans in the stands at the Bernabeu while preparing to take a corner and after his goal in Barca's 4-0 win against rivals Real Madrid. Advertisement La Liga also reported instances of alleged racist abuse towards Barcelona's Raphinha and Ansu Fati to the national police. Barcelona, Madrid and La Liga all condemned the abuse, with the league adding that it would 'request lip expertise on the reported images in order to identify the insults made' against Yamal, Raphinha and Fati. Three people were subsequently arrested in November for what La Liga described as 'violating the dignity and moral integrity of two footballers'. In a statement on Tuesday, La Liga said: 'The minor identified, following the complaint by La Liga as one of the perpetrators of the racist insults, has admitted the facts and accepted, within the framework of the proceedings of the Office of the Public Prosecution for Minors, the imposition of 30 hours of socio-educational tasks.' The individual is prohibited from entering 'any of the stadiums where official football competitions are held for a period of one year'. La Liga also requested that the individual provide a written apology to Yamal. Madrid confirmed after the game that it had identified those responsible for the 'deplorable and despicable insults' before 'appropriate disciplinary and judicial action can be taken.' Madrid forward Vinicius Junior, who has also been subjected to racist abuse in Spain, condemned the incident on social media. Lamentable lo que ha pasado ayer en Bernabéu con insultos racistas. No hay espacio para estos criminosos en nuestra sociedad. Todo mi apoyo a Lamine, Ansu y Raphinha. Lo sé que Madrid y la policia van hacer las cosas para identificar y punir los culpables!! — Vini Jr. (@vinijr) October 27, 2024 'Real Madrid strongly condemns any kind of behaviour involving racism, xenophobia or violence in football and sport, and deeply regrets the insults that a few fans uttered last night in one of the corners of the stadium,' the club said in a statement at the time. Last month, five supporters were given suspended prison sentences and fined for racist chants directed at Vinicius Jr during a match against Real Valladolid in a landmark ruling that saw the individuals convicted of a hate crime. It was the first time that racist chanting in a stadium had met this definition in a Spanish court. ()
