A January deal looks like it's edging closer for Tierney while Brendan Rodgers issues Sondre Orjasaeter update

Jota was back at Lennoxtown today as he and his Celtic teammates trained before heading down to Birmingham for tomorrow's Champions League tie against Aston Villa.  However, there was no sign of Cameron Carter-Vickers as Brendan Rodgers' side were put through their paces in the winter sun.

Scotland to Saudi Arabia to France and back to Scotland. To quote Jota's farewell message to Celtic supporters as he finalised a lucrative move to Al-Ittihad: "...what a f***ing ride."

Brendan Rodgers confirms that Scotland defender Kieran Tierney will move to Celtic from Arsenal this summer at the latest.
