Celtic ace is ready for Rangers this weekend.
Celtic demolished Rangers in the recent Scottish Cup semi-final and the reigning champions could be forgiven for letting a little complacency creep in.
The two sides meet in the league this weekend, and Celtic’s Kieran Tierney is taking nothing for granted.
While Scott Brown and Leigh Griffiths have taken pot shots at Rangers following the 4-0 win, Tierney believes the Light Blues will be tough opponents.
The left-back told The Mail he expects Rangers to give Celtic a tough game.
He said: “It will be a tight game. The last two times at Celtic Park have been draws but the Hampden game we scored a few goals, but we know this will be hard.
“They know what is at stake as well as we do and both teams will want to go out there and win.”
Celtic’s seventh title in a row is a foregone conclusion at this point, it is just a matter of when they clinch it.
They can do so against Rangers with a win this weekend, and the incentive to do so against their rivals will spur Celtic on.
Tierney’s attitude is the right one, and if every Celtic player approaches the game with the same attitude then they will be better placed to avoid falling victim to an upset.
