While Tierney has agreed a pre-contract to return to Parkhead on a four-year deal in the summer, Arsenal will not allow him to make the move ahead of schedule.
Tierney has managed just 16 minutes of Premier League football since returning to fitness with his sole start this season coming in the Carabao Cup quarter-final victory over Crystal Palace in December.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers had hoped to bring forward a deal to this month with Tierney not part of Mikel Arteta’s regular starting XI.
