Quizzed on a potential move for Kieran Tierney, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers said yesterday: "Listen, I would never speak about Kieran Tierney other than the time I had him here.
"He is an Arsenal player and that is where he is at.
"For himself Kieran will want to play, he is not a young player anymore.
"He is a player that will want to play football no doubt, especially where he was at with Arsenal for his first couple of years. At times he was captaining the club.
"They have a really strong squad. Mikel has done a fantastic job there, but for Kieran himself I am sure he will be looking to go out and play.
"That is the way I would see it."
