Kieran Tierney makes Celtic promise as Arsenal hero reveals his post-Premier League plans

Celtic fanatic Kieran Tierney admits he dreams of focusing solely on being a full-time Hoops supporter once his career comes to an end.

The 23-year-old is a key man for Arsenal in the Premier League but he admits watching former team on a weekly basis sounds like the perfect plan for when he hangs up his boots.

Gunners supporters hope that doesn't happen anytime soon with Tierney establishing himself as a star under Mikel Arteta's tutelage.

But the Scotland international admits he's not getting too far ahead of himself when asked whether he sees himself entering the dugout when his playing days are over.

Speaking in the Arsenal matchday programme ahead of their game with Leeds, he said: "I have thought about it, but it’s hard to say with it being so far away.

“It’s not crossed my mind to do any coaching badges or anything like that yet. Some of the older players talk about it, and doing the qualifications, it’s probably something you think more about when you get over 30, but before that it’s all about your playing career.

“Well when I finish playing I’ll be back in Scotland, no doubt going back to my old life of supporting Celtic home and away again! I’ll be back there doing something anyway.

“I’ll definitely live in Scotland when I finish playing, too per cent. I miss it every day.”
