Celtic star James Forrest believes that his teammate Kieran Tierney has handled the speculation about his future very well.

Tierney is linked with a move to Arsenal before the Premier League transfer window closes on Thursday.

But if the clubs cannot agree a fee, he knows that he will spend the next season at Celtic.

And Forrest believes the youngster is doing a good job of handling the uncertainty about his future.

Forrest said to reporters: "Ask anyone in our dressing room, we all want KT [Tierney] to still be here. He's been a great player for us and everyone is hoping that come Friday he is still here.

"We want him to get back playing for us. He came with us for pre-season and we still see him at training every day.

"But considering how long the talk about Arsenal has gone on, I think he's handled it really well. KT is still only 22, so he's coped well.

"Every day there seems to be something new in the story. But he's just keeping himself to himself and working hard. That's credit to him."
