Celtic congratulate Arsenal star Kieran Tierney after FA Cup win

Celtic have congratulated Kieran Tierney after he lifted the FA Cup.

The Scotland left-back got his hands on one of the most famous trophies in football on Saturday when his Arsenal team came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at Wembley.

Tierney joined the Gunners for £25m from Celtic in 2019, and his former club were quick to hail the 23-year-old's achievement.

In a tweet posted following Tierney's Wembley victory, the official Celtic Twitter account said: "Congratulations @kierantierney1 from everyone at #CelticFC."

Tierney shared the club's tweet and said: "Thank u so much. Touch of class."

After struggling with injury for much of his first season, Tierney has been a major success since English football restarted this summer.

He was named Arsenal's Player of the Month for June by fans, and has frequently received plaudits for his consistently impressive performances.

Tierney won't be back in league action until the middle of September, but Celtic kick off their Scottish Premiership season this afternoon.

Neil Lennon's side welcome Hamilton Accies to Celtic Park as they begin their bid to win a historic tenth successive title.
