The Celtic youngster has been superb over the past couple of years.
Celtic ace Kieran Tierney sat down for an exclusive interview with the Glasgow Evening Times, and hinted that there is too much expectation on his young shoulders to perform in every single game that he plays.
The 21-year-old burst onto the scene at Parkhead a few of years ago, and has really impressed for the Hoops, racking up 152 appearances in all competitions thus far.
He is now widely considered to be one of Scotland’s most exciting young prospects to have emerged over the past few years.
Unfortunately for Celtic, though, his fine performances have not gone unnoticed, with some of Europe’s biggest clubs reportedly keeping tabs on the left-back.
Tierney spoke exclusively to the Glasgow Evening Times, and suggested that he is under too much pressure to perform at a high level on a consistent basis:
“The expectation seems to be for me to play every game brilliantly. That’s the expectation. If I play an average game, I’ve played badly, if you know what I mean.”
Next up for Celtic is a trip to Dundee tonight, and Tierney will once again be expected to play a major role for his side, as they look to close the gap on league leaders Hearts.
