Brendan Rodgers has addressed THAT photo with Kieran Tierney amid talk of a potential reunion at Celtic.
The Northern Irishman was spotted with the Scotland international at the Celtic FC Foundation's London Gala event last week.
The pair were photographed deep in conversation, as the current manager of the Scottish Premiership champions caught up with his former player.
Asked about it during today's press conference, Rodgers played down its significance.
"It was great to see him," Rodgers said. "I've always been in contact with Kieran, when we were both down there.
"Obviously, he's been out injured so it was a nice touch by the club to invite him.
"He was a great player for this club and it's unfortunate how it's went for him at Arsenal with his injuries and other stuff.
"It doesn't take much now to get tongues wagging."

Tierney's time at Arsenal started well, but the 27-year-old's fallen way down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta for variety of reasons.
He spent last season on loan at La Liga side Real Sociedad, but is currently on the sidelines again at The Emirates.
