Is reported that Tierney is recovering from hernia operation, I thought he was supposed to need a hip operation, has he had that yet?

He didn't need a hip operation apparently that was just a rumour am sure he spoke about it on Celtic tv a wee while ago.

You been over on the Rangers site, not one of them has a clue what they're talking about aindoh. It appears the injury is a hernia - as KT had stated. Not his hip (bones) , its a muscle that's weak across that region.

I "suspect" a inguinal hernia, common in sports, over use or excessive weight lifting on the muscle, without an appropriate warm up or recovery period can put strain over a weak part of the muscle and cause herniation.

This is a guy that the club values at £25million (I would say the best player to put a celtic strip on since the likes of Larsson) .

He'd have been treated with top specialist surgeons for this procedure. He'd have the best recovery programme developed alongside the surgeon, a world class physio who deals in hernia injury. Then all that information passed to club doctor, physio and sports science and rehab team.

Trust me KT will have the best chance of a 100% recovery from this injury long term. I just suspect he won't be with us long term.

But for 25 plus the add ons, I'd say long term for our club would be good business.
