The transfer window is always an exciting time for Celtic fans.

Heading into the summer as champions of Scotland, the Hoops support will be looking to see who Brendan Rodgers will bring to Celtic to get their first-team ready for European football.

Celtic’s signing of Kieran Tierney has signalled Rodgers’ intent that he is looking to get their business done early.

And with rumours linking the Hoops to highly-rated Ecuadorian Nilson Angulo, it looks like this is going to be a busy summer for the Parkhead support.

But it seems that the Celtic manager has already made the signing of the summer, according to BBC pundit Michael Stewart.

Michael Stewart says ‘Celtic is a good move’ for Kieran Tierney

Tierney’s Celtic return is the very definition of the return of the prodigal son. Celtic are in the defender’s veins and Stewart believes the Parkhead club have done a tremendous piece of business.

Stewart told BBC Sportsound [12m 30s], “I think getting back to Celtic, it’s going to take him just a little bit of time just to almost feel the love again.

“Brendan Rodgers has got a big job on his hands to I think, get him out of his shell to a certain extent. I mean, Kieran Tierney is an absolute colossus.

“He’s an incredible player. And I’m going to be really interested to see how he starts to come back. Because at the moment, it just feels like there’s a wee bit of scar tissue, not from physical injuries, but I think mentally it’s been tough for him.

“So perhaps coming back to Celtic is a good move for him just to feel comfortable again and be able to kick on and start again.”

What Kieran Tierney has said about making his Celtic Park debut

Celtic has a busy summer ahead with plenty of pre-season friendlies in the pipeline to keep supporters busy.

However, the Hoops don’t play at Celtic Park until the Newcastle United friendly on the 19th of July but, Tierney still cannot wait to walk out in front of (hopefully) 60,000 fans.

Tierney told Celtic FC, “Honestly, I cannot wait and I can’t describe it. It will be emotional, for sure.

“I’ve already thought about it and it will be emotional for me and my family. It’s been a long time, we’ve had ups and downs in the last few years, so coming back here and walking out at Celtic Park will be just incredible.”
