CONFIRMED: Brendan Rodgers Finalizes Double Signings โ Kieran Tierney and Callum Osmand Join Celtic
In a significant boost to Celticโs squad ahead of the new season, manager Brendan Rodgers has finalized the double signing of Kieran Tierney and Callum Osmand, both of whom are set to play pivotal roles in the clubโs ambitions domestically and in Europe.
Kieran Tierney Returns Home
Kieran Tierneyโs return marks a moment of celebration for Celtic fans. The Scotland international, who rose through the ranks at Celtic Park before securing a high-profile move to Arsenal in 2019, is back where it all began. Known for his relentless energy, defensive solidity, and attacking prowess from the left flank, Tierneyโs arrival brings not just quality but also leadership and passion rooted in his deep connection with the club.
Rodgers, who previously coached Tierney during his first spell at Celtic, expressed his delight:
“Kieran knows what it means to wear the Celtic shirt. He brings experience from top-level football and a drive that will lift the dressing room.”
The second signing, Callum Osmand, may not carry the same household recognition as Tierney, but his potential has sparked excitement within the Celtic camp. The young forward, who impressed scouts with his pace, technical ability, and eye for goal, joins as part of Rodgersโ strategy to blend youth with experience.
Sources suggest Osmand was highly sought after by several clubs, but Rodgersโ vision and Celticโs development platform sealed the deal. Osmand himself stated:
“Itโs an honour to join such a historic club. Iโm ready to give my all and learn from the experienced players around me.”
Strengthening the Squad
These signings signal Celticโs intent to dominate the Scottish Premiership and make a strong impact in European competitions. With Tierney adding immediate class to the backline and Osmand offering depth and dynamism up front, Rodgers is shaping a squad capable of playing attractive, winning football.
Fans will be eagerly awaiting their debuts, as both players are expected to feature in pre-season fixtures and integrate quickly into Rodgers’ tactical setup.
