Former Scotland star Pat Nevin reckons Kieran Tierney securing a sensational return to Celtic is a live option.
The 26-year-old faces an uncertain future at Arsenal but Newcastle have yet to firm up their interest in the £30m-rated Scotland international. Reports suggest the rampaging left-back could be up for a Parkhead comeback and Nevin reckons the possibility of him leaving North London for a sensational return home cannot be ruled out.
Nevin, speaking to OLBG: "I’m a Kieran Tierney fanatic. I think he is such a good player, who can play at left-back, centre-back and wing-back. He’s too good not to be playing every week, particularly after seeing how well he plays for Scotland. He could end up back at Celtic, but I think he could play at a high level in England or abroad."
And Nevin's effusive praise didn't stop with Tierney. He also paid Billy Gilmour a mamoth compliment as he tipped the Brighton stars unique skillset to land him the ultimate transfer. He added: "I have said the same about Billy Gilmour before. I was thinking when Chelsea sold him, ‘what are you doing?’. Gilmour is a world-class footballer. He could sit in the Man City midfield and be fine because he is good enough for them. I think Gilmour will go on to have a good career at Brighton though, it is a good place for him."
