KIERAN TIERNEY was asked what he will do when his career comes to an end and it’ll be no surprise to many Celtic supports what he said.
The left-back left the club two seasons ago to join Arsenal, breaking the club’s record transfer for fee received. A whopping £25m was put down for his services and a fee which many Arsenal fans believe to be a bargain in the market in which the London club operates.
Kieran is Celtic through and through and when posed with the question of what he’ll do away from the game, the humble lad revealed he will head back to Scotland and likely go back to following Celtic home and away again.
“I have thought about it, but it’s hard to say with it being so far away.” Tierney admitted to SunSport.
“It’s not crossed my mind to do any coaching badges or anything like that yet.
“Some of the older players talk about it, and doing the qualifications, it’s probably something you think more about when you get over 30, but before that it’s all about your playing career.
“Well when I finish playing I’ll be back in Scotland, no doubt going back to my old life of supporting Celtic home and away again!
“I’ll be back there doing something anyway.
“I’ll definitely live in Scotland when I finish playing, 100 per cent. I miss it every day.”
It wouldn’t surprise us in the slightest if that happened, to be honest.
If the player goes into coaching, there’s likely going to be a space for him at the club down the line too.
Sound thinking. Naw, he will get more gongs at Arsenal move either in the Epl, go to the sunshine States of Europe or USA Get his badges. Come back to the UK. Try management. Retire at fortyfive. Follow the Hoops, get old, talk about his early career. And become a grandparent. Always be a legend. Grand.
