Kieran Tierney is one of the best players at Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic.
Kris Commons has praised Celtic defender Kieran Tierney for his passion on BT Sport.
The former Celtic attacking midfielder, though, has also seems to have suggested that the 20-year-old left-back could get injured again due to the nature of his game and the challenges he goes into.
Commons, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, told BT Sport about Tierney: “One of the things people don’t realise is that he’s come back from two broken legs and he still goes into tackles where he could end up with another.
“I wouldn’t say he’s not intelligent but what he is is passionate. You don’t always get that from footballers as there are plenty who shy out of tackles.”
Quality footballer
Tierney is one of the best young left-backs in entire Europe and the best in his position in the Scottish Premiership.
The Scotland international has been playing well for Celtic this season, and the youngster can only get better.
In 28 Scottish Premiership appearances for the Glasgow giants this campaign, the 20-year-old has scored three goals and provided six assists, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.
Future
Tierney has been linked with moves away from Celtic in the summer transfer window.
According to The Scottish Sun, Bournemouth, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Scotland international left-back from the Hoops.
Celtic fans will hope that Tierney remains at Celtic Park for the foreseeable future.
