Aiden McGeady can't see it not happening as Arsenal exile continues Get the latest Celtic news sent straight to your inbox with our daily newsletter We have more newsletters Get the latest Celtic news sent straight to your inbox with our daily newsletter We have more newsletters Aiden McGeady reckons Kieran Tierney is nailed on to play for Celtic again, he's just not sure when. The Scotland star remains out of the picture at Arsenal under Mikel Arteta following a loan to Real Sociedad last season. Even if it wasn't for an injury suffered during a doomed Euro 2024 campaign, Oleksandr Zinchenko would likely have started the Premiership opener at home to Wolves last weekend in any case.
He's been linked with moves away and a return from Celtic has never been ruled out. The boyhood Hoops fan is said to be more than open to pulling on the green and white again, but the financial odds are stacked against it happening this season, although the Premiership champions do have cash to burn. However, Tierney would need to take a major pay cut.
With Greg Taylor out of contract in the summer and no real back up, calls to bring Tierney home will only intensify if he remains in the shadows in North London. And McGeady is convinced it's going to happen, it's just a question of timing. Speaking to BoyleSports, who offer the latest Celtic v Rangers odds , McGeady said: "I think 100% it's going to happen at some point, Kieran Tierney returning to Celtic, but the timing on that remains to be seen.
