Celtic supporters have been told to "get ready" in a Kieran Tierney return transfer teaser.
The left-back had been tipped to return to Celtic with his contract at Arsenal set to expire in the summer.
Reports have stated a pre-contract is in the works for Tierney to head back to Glasgow with a loan to the end of the season possible.
I expect Tierney to go to Celtic, telling you for some weeks now… get ready 🔙😉

However, any loan is thought to hinge on whether Brendan Rodgers' side manages to qualify for the knockout stage of the Champions League.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has now teased Celtic supporters that Tierney is fully expected to return to the club in the near future.
The journalist had been reporting on Alex Valle moving to Como with the Barcelona defender to have his loan to Celtic terminated to facilitate a move to Italy.

Then, responding to discourse on what that move means for Celtic, Romano suggested a deal for Tierney will be finalised.
He posted: "I expect Tierney to go to Celtic, telling you for some weeks now… get ready"
The defender has barely played for Arsenal in recent seasons having been shipped out on loan to Real Sociedad last season.
He featured in the Carabao Cup against Crystal Palace last month and then made a cameo appearance against Manchester United in the FA Cup at the weekend.
On Wednesday, Tierney has been called upon by Mikel Arteta for his first Premier League outing this season.
The defender came off the bench after 77 minutes as he replaced goalscorer Leo Trossard against Tottenham.
