Our very own Scottish-born Kieran Tierney, who proudly wears the number 63 jersey, was born on 5 June 1997, making him a mindful 28 years old. His defensive prowess often sees him in the left back position for our beloved Celtic Football Club. Standing at 1.78m (5ft 10in) and weighing 76kg (11st 13lb), Tierney is an imposing figure on the field, having also represented the Scotland national team.
As reported by Transfermarkt, the current market value of Tierney is hovering around £7m. Tracing back his journey, Tierney joined Celtic as a trainee in July 2005 amidst the Scottish Premiership.
Tierney's career at Celtic was a tale of persistent growth. In his debut season (2014-2015), the determined Scot made two first-team appearances in league matches. By the following season (2015-2016), Tierney had solidified his place in the team, making 23 appearances and finding the back of the net once. This trend of improvement and consistency continued in the following seasons - 24 appearances and a goal in 2016-2017, and an impressive 32 appearances and three goals in 2017-2018. His last season with Celtic before moving south saw him with 21 appearances in 2018-2019.
In August 2019, Tierney made a considerable leap, transferring from Celtic to England's Premier League giants, Arsenal, for a hefty fee of around £25m. His time at Arsenal was filled with consistent performances and occasional goals across multiple seasons. His stint at Arsenal saw a brief interruption when he was loaned out to Spain's La Liga side, Real Sociedad, in August 2023.
The strong left-back made 20 appearances for Real Sociedad in the 2023-2024 season. He returned to Arsenal in July 2024, continuing to provide steady performances for the Gunners. However, in an exciting twist in July 2025, Tierney returned home, transferring back to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.
His return season at Celtic mirrors his initial time at the club, with 11 first team appearances and a goal to his name in the current 2025-2026 season. Tierney's contributions extend beyond the league, having participated in numerous tournaments. These include Celtic's League Cup, Champions League Qualifiers, and Europa League. His skills have also been called upon in Scotland's World Cup and Euro Qualifiers campaigns.
