Kieran Tierney is one of the best players at Celtic.
Tierney is one of the best young defenders in Europe and has established himself as the first-choice left-back at Celtic.
The 20-year-old is also playing regularly for the Scotland national football team, and is also capable of featuring as a central defender.
Celtic boss Rodgers believes that Tierney will captain Celtic one day in the future.
“He can be a great leader for Scotland and I think he will be a captain here at Celtic one day,” Rodgers told The Telegraph about Tierney. “He is developing and maturing on and off the field.”
