Recently, The Celtic Bhoys published a report which addressed Kieran Tierney's comments about his future. Seemingly, the Scottish international suggested that he was open to a Parkhead return in the future, claiming it is a club he will always have a connection with.

It remains to be seen whether or not Brendan Rodgers is keen to welcome Tierney back to Celtic Park. It would not come as a surprise if he was, considering it was under the Northern Irishman's management that the left-back played his best football.

Arsenal are seemingly open to Tierney leaving. It is believed that he is not considered in the future plans of Mikel Arteta. The rumoured £25 million transfer fee would be impossible for Celtic to meet.

However, stranger things have happened in football and there are ways around this, for example, Celtic re-signing Tierney on loan. In the words of the Scotsman himself "who knows?" On the off-chance that the Hoops were to re-sign him, they would look like quite the outfit. Here's how they could line up...

GK - Tom Glover. Assuming that Tierney is signed, this would limit Celtic's transfer budget in other areas. While Glover may be an underwhelming signing compared to other rumoured Joe Hart replacements, he has decent experience at a good level, having come through the ranks at Tottenham Hotspur and has impressed in the English Championship this season.
