Celtic’sÂ Kieran Tierney has said he hadÂ no doubts about signing a new deal atÂ ParkheadÂ and wished it could have beenÂ for longer.

The Scottish Premier League treble winners tied the defender to the club on Monday, with a six-year contract that will see him remain at Celtic Park until 2023.

Since Tierney’s debut for his boyhood clubÂ in April 2015, the 20-year-oldÂ hasÂ seen his reputationÂ grow;Â consistent form and momentsÂ ofÂ brilliance have made the Celtic youngster, who hails from the Isle of Man, a firmÂ fans favourite.

The left-back is one of Brendan Rodgers’ main threats in attack. This season in Europe, he has one assist his name and in theÂ leagueÂ he has an assist and a goal.

Everton, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool have all been linked with the highly-rated Celtic defender but their interest may wane in light ofÂ Monday’sÂ announcement.

“I hope I can stay here as long as I can, and keep playing,” Kierney said in TheÂ Express.

â€œIÂ am in no rush to leave, everybody can see that from signing a long-term deal.

â€œI had no doubts about signing a long-term deal. I wish it was longer. Itâ€™s brilliant for me and my family. Itâ€™s a great feeling, the same as it was when I signed last year.

â€œThey donâ€™t need to give you another deal, especially when youâ€™ve got almost four years left on the one youâ€™ve got.

â€œFair play to the club, but itâ€™s good for both parties. Everyone is happy.â€

St.Â JohnstoneÂ is the destination for Tierney and co. on Saturday and another three points will cap off an excellent week for the Celtic youngster.

The Bhoys have stated the 2017-18 domestic campaign in the same fashion that they rounded off the last one and remain unbeaten in Scottish football this term.

Tierney is an undoubted leader in the Celtic ranks and could well become a Hoops legend if he stays true to his word and spends the remainder of his career at Parkhead.
