Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers admits they'll struggle to keep hold of Kieran Tierney this summer.

Rodgers last night confessed Celtic and Tierney have a “decision to make" if Everton push on with a £25million-plus bid.

He said: “It will be down to the club in the end. If an astronomical fee comes in for a player and he has wages to match that, the transfer window can dictate he may have to go.

“Of course we would love and we want to keep our players. Ideally they wouldn't go but I can never say realistically that everyone will definitely stay because the club may get an offer they can't refuse.

“In terms of development it's great for Kieran. He's happy and loves being at Celtic.

“He can only wait and, if at some point something concrete comes in, then he may along with the club have a decision to make and that's what it'll be.

“I'll always give him advice but ultimately it'll then be down to him and the club."
