During this, they posted about Tierney contributing to a goal in that game. The post carried an image of the current Arsenal defender.

On seeing this post, many Celtic fans weren’t happy. They aimed their anger at the post and at Tierney himself.

Tierney left Celtic to join Premier League giants Arsenal last summer for a fee of £25 million.

The Scotsman had been at Celtic since his youth days and during his time in the club’s first team, Tierney made 170 appearances in all competitions while picking up as many as 37 assists and scoring eight goals (via Transfermarkt).

What do we think?

The anger of Celtic fans probably comes from the way Tierney left the Hoops for Arsenal. But considering how long he was at the club and that he won five Premiership titles for the Bhoys shows that he did make a mark at Parkhead. Instead of being enraged at the post about their former player, they should respect his contributions to the club.
