Moussa Dembele and Scott Sinclair have reacted to Kieran Tierney's emotional Celtic homecoming.
The left-back made his first Parkhead appearance in six years on Saturday, coming on to a standing ovation in the 56th minute of an emphatic friendly win over Newcastle United.
It didn't take Tierney long to get back into the groove. Indeed, for the last of Celtic's goals in the 4-0 victory, he beat his man on the left before hanging up a fine cross for Liam Scales to nod home from.

On Instagram, Celtic posted a video of Tierney coming on, which Dembele and Sinclair both commented on.
The French striker added a heart-eyes emoji '😍', as Sinclair reacted with two hands up '🙌🏽 🙌🏽'. Erik Sviatchenko simply wrote 'Goosebumps'.
Speaking after the match, Tierney admitted he got rather emotional when he came off the bench in place of Hayato Inamura.
He told Celtic TV: "I didn't know what to expect. That was just brilliant. [I was] quite emotional actually, going on to the park like that. A great day for me.
"They're [Newcastle] a good team. It just shows, the quality we've got, when we play like that, we can give anyone a game.
"And the goals we scored were brilliant today."
