Kieran Tierney missed a great chance for Celtic on Wednesday night.
Kieran Tierney might be an “incredible talent”, but Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has told Herald Scotland that the youngster must improve on his right foot.
Celtic smashed Dundee 5-0 at Dens Park last night to move four points behind top-of-the-table Hearts, who have played one game more than Rodgers’s side.
But they could and probably should have scored a sixth, when left-back Tierney missed a fine chance after being set up by Daniel Arzani.
“Kieran should have scored at the back post,” the Northern Irishman told Herald Scotland. “Kieran is always in the wars. He gives his best. He’s an incredible talent.
“I would like to have seen him score. We need to work on that right foot!”
Tierney, 21, scores quite a few for a left-back and netted four in all competitions last season, but that isn’t strictly what he is judged on.
The Hoops went ahead through Tom Rogic on 20 minutes, before Rodgers’s side put Dundee to the sword before the break.
Scott Sinclair, James Forrest and Odsonne Edouard all found the net before half time to make it 4-0, before Ryan Christie added a fifth three minutes after the restart.
The Bhoys can move within a point of Craig Levein’s side on Saturday if they beat Hearts at Parkhead.
