Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney is one of the best defenders in the Scottish Premiership.
Former Albion Rovers and Queen of the South player Des McKeown has praised Celtic defender Kieran Tierney in The Scottish Sun.
McKeown has included the 19-year-old left-back in his best all-Scottish team from the Scottish Premiership.
“Kieran Tierney completes my back four at left-back and what a phenomenal talent this kid is,” McKeown wrote in The Scottish Sun.
“He can play, he can tackle, he can run and he can only get better, and that is a truly frightening thought. This young man plays with amazing maturity and is so enthusiastic that his energy is contagious.”
Tierney is one of the best defenders in the Scottish Premiership and has been superb for Celtic this season.
The 19-year-old is a complete left-back, and he is only going to get better. The fact that the teenager has already played thrice for the Scotland national football team shows just how good he is.
The talented and promising youngster has scored three goals in 72 appearances in all competitions for Celtic so far in his career.
Tierney has been linked with a number of clubs, with The Daily Mail claiming that Chelsea want him, while The Daily Star has credited Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle United with interest in the youngster.
It would be best for Tierney’s progress if he stays at Celtic and continued his development under manager Brendan Rodgers.
