It's not often a Scottish football club lands the complete package football signing for free, but there is a strong argument for such a scenario in the case of Celtic and Kieran Tierney. The Scotland defender's return to Celtic, six years after leaving for Arsenal, was confirmed on Tuesday afternoon. Tierney has penned a five-year contract with his boyhood club and his return has been warmly welcomed by all of a Celtic persuasion. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The left-back won his 50th cap for Scotland against Iceland earlier this month and comes back to Glasgow with experience of the English Premier League with the Gunners, plus a season on loan with Real Sociedad in La Liga. He is comfortable playing as a centre-half these days and, as Celtic B coach Stephen McManus points out, has plenty of miles left to put on the clock. Kieran Tierney has returned to Celtic on a five-year deal. | SNS Group 'Listen, it's massive,' McManus said of Tierney's homecoming. 'The biggest thing is the age that he's at, coming back. It's not as if he's coming back with two years to go within his career. He's still got his full career ahead of him, which is great. You look at the knowledge that he's then gained, being at Arsenal, being away, playing in major tournaments now for Scotland as well. I think it's brilliant. I think it's really, really good. The fact that he's coming and hopefully he's got a good few years ahead of him. He can stay fit and he can bring his personality and his quality to not just the football team, but to the whole football club.' McManus – a true leader in the Celtic teams he played in and now a coach of youngsters – knows a thing or two about setting examples. He believes the influence Tierney can have on the dressing-room as well as on the pitch is just as important to manager Brendan Rodgers. 'It's probably one of the biggest things once you become that kind of experienced player,' continued McManus, speaking to promote Celtic's friendly with Newcastle United next month. 'When you're young and you're developing and you're playing, you play with no fear, but then the older you get, you start to then take interest in a lot more of what goes on around the football club. How you conduct yourself on the pitch, how you conduct yourself off the pitch, especially a club like here, it becomes really important. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad A Celtic captain-in-waiting 'You can see that with Callum [McGregor], you can see that with James [Forrest], the ones that have come through the academy structure here for a long period of time. They're very similar in their personalities and that's really important. Kieran's going to then bring that as well. Again, he's younger than the other two boys, so it's going to be a massive, massive bonus not just for the football club, but also for the national team as well.' McManus accepts the notion that Celtic have another captain-in-waiting in Tierney. 'You never know what's around the corner,' he said. 'I think if Callum doesn't play for whatever reason, there's somebody that's got the personality, he's got the profile, he's got the ability. But like I said, it's just a brilliant signing for the football club because he brings so much on the pitch and so much off the pitch. 'You need people that know the football club to take it on to the next level because you're always educating the next ones that then come. But first and foremost, Kieran's a top, top footballer. He's not coming back because he's a Celtic fan. I think that's important as well. He's coming back because he's a top, top footballer and he's going to bring his experiences, his knowledge and his qualities so that he can then help our football club move forward.' Even at the relatively tender age of 28, Tierney is now the fourth oldest player in the current squad. 'Your job once you become an experienced player is to educate the younger ones and that's when you speak of the business model of the football club,' added McManus. 'What's the recruitment strategy? What does it look like? So Kieran fits that bill because, again, he knows the club but he's a fantastic footballer and his best years are still ahead of him.

Celtic granted permission to open talks with top transfer target with two more wingers added to Hoops watch list
CELTIC have been granted permission to hold talks with hitman Benjamin Nygren. SunSport revealed earlier this week that the £2million Nordsjaelland attacker was on Brendan Rodgers' wishlist. 3 Benjamin Nygren in action for Sweden Credit: EPA 3 Brendan Rodgers wants him ion at Celtic Credit: Alamy The Hoops have now made a move — but face some stiff competition in the race for the 23-year-old's signature. Copenhagen and Anderlecht are keen on Nygren, but interest has emerged from the Bundesliga and MLS too, and Nordsjaelland chiefs will allow him to speak to any interested club. The Sweden star only has six months left on his contract, and his club are ready to let him leave for a cut-price £2m fee now. Nygren scored 16 goals last season, and also netted twice in four international appearances. He has previously said that he wants to play in a top-five European league. But the Hoops can potentially offer the carrot of Champions League football next season. And their track record at developing players will also appeal to the Swede. Nygren, who started his senior career at IFK Gothenburg, blossomed as a goal scoring attacking midfielder for Nordsjaelland. He can also play on either wing or up front, and captained the Danish club last term. Rodgers is keen to add more creativity in midfield and Nygren has been identified as a top addition. Ex-Celtic coach Eric Black on the Cup exit that rocked Scottish football plus life with Lubo and Dr Jo Celtic have already snapped up Kieran Tierney on a five-year deal from Arsenal. Ross Doohan will arrive from Aberdeen as a back-up keeper, while 19-year-old Fulham hitman Callum Osmand is poised to sign. Celts are also looking at wingers, with Sarpsborg ace Sondre Orjasaeter a potential target. Anderlecht kid Nilson Angulo has been watched, but the 21-year-old Ecuadorian insists he's ignoring all links. He said: 'I'm focused on Anderlecht, I want to get back there and we'll see what happens. 'Next season, I need to improve on small details, like my finishing and as I play more matches for my club and my national team, I'll improve. 'I'm really happy with what we've achieved and proud of the group. We're prepared and focused on the World Cup.' 3 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
