Celtic defender Kieran Tierney is one of the best defenders in Scotland at the moment.
Former Celtic player turned football pundit Chris Sutton has showered praise on Scotland defender Kieran Tierney.
The 20-year-old has established himself as one of the top players for Celtic, and is already a key member in Gordon Strachan’s Scotland set up.
Tierney was excellent during Celtic’s Champions League clash against Anderlecht and received praise from Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.
Sutton has praised Tierney as a “great talent”, and predicts that the youngster will be moving to the Premier League in the future.
“Kieran Tierney…he’s a great talent. He will end up down south eventually,” said Sutton to BT Sport Score on Saturday.
Tierney is developing into a top-class player under Brendan Rodgers, and Celtic fans would love to see him stay at the club for a long time.
The young left-back is happy at the club, and plays with pride and passion. As such he is in no hurry to leave the club.
However, there is bound to be interest in the player from big Premier League clubs if he continues to perform at this level.
