CELTIC starlet Kieran Tierney has admitted he could one day be lured away from his boyhood team – despite toying with the idea of remaining a one-club man.
The left-back has attracted interest from England’s top clubs including Manchester United and Tottenham.
Tierney, 20, put pen to paper on a lucrative six-year contract earlier in the season to make him one of the club’s highest earners.
And the boyhood Celtic fan insists he is more than happy to stay with Brendan Rodgers’ side but remains flattered by the interest shown in him.
He said: “I’ve never thought about elsewhere yet, in my life. It’s just been Celtic since the age of seven.
“I’ve never even been on trial with another team. I was at my local boys’ club then moved to Celtic at seven.
“Can I see myself being here all my career? Yes, I can. But, you never know in football.
“I’ve never thought about being away from Celtic. Maybe one day it will happen.”

Under Rodgers, en route to another Premiership title, Tierney played 32 top-flight matches and scored three goals.
The youngster now has four championship-winners’ medals and looks capable of adding plenty more to that while the Glasgow club remains so dominant.
