Celtic defender Kieran Tierney has told the Glasgow Evening Times that he will suffer a dip in form soon.

Ever since breaking into Celtic’s first-team as a youngster, everything has gone swimmingly for the defender.

Tierney has dealt with every challenge thrown at him to date, and is now established as a key player for club and country.

The 20-year-old looks to be one of the brightest prospects to have broken through at Celtic in recent memory.

However, Tierney insists that he does expect to go through some tougher times soon.

“A dip will come for me,” Tierney said. “100 per cent. It’s just how I approach it and deal with it.

“You try and stay away from negative thoughts. No one goes out to play badly. You obviously don’t want that. But I’m sure it will come. And if it does, it’s not the end of the world. People can play badly.”

Tierney’s wonderful form has caught the attention of teams across Europe, with the Celtic man earning plaudits galore.

Tierney has saved some of his best performances for Champions League matches, when he has shone against some of Europe’s elite teams.

Celtic are determined to keep hold of Tierney though, with the youngster recently penning a new long-term contract with Brendan Rodgers’ side.
