Atletico Madrid reportedly plan to scout Kieran Tierney during Celtic’s Scottish Cup final clash.

Celtic fans have been reacting on Twitter to the reports coming out of The Scottish Sun which have suggested that Atletico Madrid plan to send scouts to the Hoops’ Scottish Cup final clash with Motherwell this weekend to have a look at Kieran Tierney.

Brendan Rodgers’ men go into Saturday looking to wrap up yet another domestic Treble, having already clinched the League Cup and the Scottish Premiership. They will undoubtedly be the heavy favourites to claim the trophy at Hampden Park.

But it appears that the ideal scenario for Celtic’s supporters would be for the club to beat Well but for Tierney to have something of an off-day as The Scottish Sun reports that the La Liga giants are set to send representatives to the game ahead of a potential summer bid for the youngster.

The Scottish Sun adds that Manchester United and Tottenham are already admirers of the £20 million-rated Scotland international, as are Premier League rivals Bournemouth, and Atleti are weighing up whether to join them in the race.

Interestingly, a number of Celtic fans on social media are completely unconcerned by Atletico’s apparent interest. Tierney is on a long-term contract at Parkhead and it is clear just how much playing for the Hoops means to him.

That has left several Celtic supporters suggesting that they are confident that he would not have his head turned by the prospect of moving to the Spanish side if they were impressed – which, given how consistent he has been, is likely – and decided to make a bid for the Bhoys stalwart during the coming months.
