Celtic boss Neil Lennon says they'll be ready should Kieran Tierney be lost to Arsenal.

Lennon insists Celtic will not be caught cold if Arsenal make a late move for Tierney.

The £25million-rated left-back has been the subject of two failed bids from the Gunners but Lennon confirmed he has already drawn up contingency plans in case the 22-year-old is prised away from his boyhood club.

Lennon said, "We obviously have contingency plans and have worked out other options if that worst-case scenario were to happen.

"So yes, having that extra two or three weeks later on in the window may be beneficial but as far as I'm aware there have been no (more bids).“
