FORMER Celtic star Kieran Tierney has admitted that while he left the club he loves in 2019, his heart has never left the east end of Glasgow.

The Scotland left-back would make over 100 appearances for the Hoops, as he played a crucial role in the club's treble treble winning side under Brendan Rodgers, and Neil Lennon.

He was sold to Arsenal in August 2019 for a Scottish transfer record, with the Premier League side paying £25million plus add-ons for the defender.

Speaking in Arsenal's match day programme publication, KT lifted the lid on his time at his boyhood heroes, life under Brendan Rodgers and his relationship with the Celtic fans.

He said: "Stuff like that was just… just wow. You will never be able to compare that feeling to anything else in the world. It was seriously like an out-of-body experience.

“I’ve got the megaphone and I’m leading the chants with people I used to actually sit in the stands with. I was on the pitch, looking straight at my mates who I grew up with, who are down there at the front singing with you.

"Stuff like that is fairy-tale stuff. It’s not until you talk about it afterwards, or watch it back that I realise how insane, how incredible it was.

"You know what, I’ve never done an interview about this before, or really spoken about it much.

"People just assume it means a lot to me so don’t ask about it, but when I think about it now, it really was incredible.

"What an experience that was. What a feeling it would be, for anyone.

"The only thing you can really liken it to is being a singer, and having people singing your song back at you at a gig."
