dailyrecord.co.ukStephen McGinn admits that he is surprised that top clubs in the English Premier League are not willing to take a gamble on Kieran Tierney amid Celtic's push to bring him back to his boyhood club.With just six months left on his contract at Arsenal, the Scotland star will be allowed to leave the North London giants this month after making just one appearance for Mikel Arteta's side in the first half of the season despite his return from a hamstring injury suffered at Euro 2024.
Brendan Rodgers and the Hoops are working hard on sealing a Parkhead return for the 27-year-old this month, with a loan deal the most likely solution.But former SPFL midfielder McGinn is shocked by the lack of interest in the full back and reckons Celtic would only sanction a January move for Tierney if it all adds up financially.
Speaking on Go Radio, he said: "Celtic don't really have any right in the modern times to get him. Every top club wants two players for every position.
Kieran Tierney has been available for a lot of games in the last few years.
