It was a brilliant night for Arsenal and former Celtic star Kieran Tierney on Thursday.

The 23-year-old helped Scotland qualify for a major tournament for the very first time since 1998.

Steve Clarke’s side will be at Euro 2021 and the Arsenal left-back – who left Celtic to join the Gunners in the summer of 2019 – played a big role throughout the campaign.

Tierney played two hours of football last night as the Scots beat Serbia on penalties after extra time to book their place in the competition next summer.

The Lennoxtown product, a £25 million signing by the North Londoners, reacted to the big win on Twitter last night.

And here’s how Celtic fans responded to their former hero on social media.

Tierney left Parkhead on pretty bad terms, with many fans of the Scottish Premiership champions upset that he did not want to hang around for a potential 10-in-a-row, which could happen next summer.

But there’s no doubt that a year of Premier League football at Arsenal has taken his game to the next level and last night was a relaxed and disciplined performance despite what was at risk.

He is improving at a rate of knots right now and it’ll be fascinating to see how much better he could be in time for the Euros.
