CELTIC defender Kieran Tierney has had surgery on a longstanding shoulder problem.
Kieran Tierney won't resume training until the New Year

Express Sport understands the operation won’t hold up the Scotland international’s return and he is still scheduled to be back in full training in the new year.
Meanwhile, Celtic have been linked with another Major League Soccer star.
Reports from across the Atlantic claim Brendan Rodgers is interested in Orlando City’s 21-year-old Canada international striker Cyle Larin as a possible replacement or competition for Moussa Dembele.
