Kieran Tierney’s move to Celtic from Arsenal is one step closer now after his cameo appearance against Liverpool.
Tierney decided to return to Celtic after Arsenal refused to take up the option to extend his contract for another season.
And now, after six seasons at the Emirates, Tierney’s time at Arsenal is coming to an end with just two games of the season to go.
The incoming Arsenal defender made another cameo in yesterday’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool and as Tierney took to the field, the fans made their feelings perfectly clear on what they think of the returning Celtic hero.

Arsenal fans remain gutted that Kieran Tierney is leaving for Celtic
It seems Tierney still remains a popular figure amongst the Arsenal support and as his move to Celtic edges ever-closer, the Emirates fans spotted a positional change at Liverpool and made their feelings clear on his upcoming exit.
One fan was keen to see Tierney deployed in a new position and said, “I’ve reached a point where I want Kieran Tierney as a left winger.”
Another fan simply said:
Another fan spotted another positional change for the Celtic returnee and said, “Arsenal have got Kieran Tierney at right wing back, Riccardo Calafiori at left wing back, Gabriel Martinelli up top and Oleksandr Zinchenko on right wing.
“That tells you everything you need to know about this season.”
And as the Arsenal fans prepare for Tierney’s exit, one fan urged the club to keep him, “If Kieran Tierney is not supported by Arteta because of his injury record, Why is Gabriel Jesus supported? And technically we should keep Tierney at Arsenal and let Jesus leave.”
And the best reply of the day:
