Chris Sutton urges Celtic to strengthen after Tierney’s sale

Celtic have sold Kieran Tierney to Arsenal for a fee of around £25m.

Former Hoops star Chris Sutton has now sent a message to the club hierarchy that they have to spend the money wisely.

There are no more excuses for Celtic to not strengthen their side adequately.

Sutton tweeted:

All the best to @kierantierney1 at Arsenal… £25 million is cheap… once he’s fit Arsenal will have a good player on their hands

Fact…No excuses from the Celtic board not to spend now… with 9 and 10 very possible and the Champions League riches very close…

The Scottish champions failed to add to their squad properly after the sale of Dembele and it will be interesting to see how they replace Tierney now.
