Aidan McGeady believes that Kieran Tierney will return to Celtic.

Tierney arrived at Arsenal as first-choice left-back but has since been supplanted by Oleksandr Zinchenko, and spent last season on loan at Real Sociedad.

His immediate future remains unclear but, speaking to BoyleSports, who offer the latest Premier League odds , McGeady said: “I think 100% it's going to happen at some point, Kieran Tierney returning to Celtic, but the timing on that remains to be seen.

“I'd be very surprised if he doesn't play again for Celtic again, but the whole situation has surprised me because he settled in so well with Arsenal when he first arrived there. 

“I don't even think it was a loss of form, maybe down to the injury, and then all of a sudden Mikel Arteta changes his options and finds a different way of playing.

“I’m very surprised that it hasn’t quite happened for him at Arsenal but I can't see him returning to Celtic just now. 

“I still think he'll want to do that slightly later on in his career. But it will 100% happen at some point.”
