Former Manchester United and Scotland international midfielder Michael Stewart has praised Celtic defender Kieran Tierney on social networking site Twitter.

A left-back by trade, the 20-year-old was deployed as a centre-back against the Dutch, and the youngster gave a good account of himself.
Former Hibernian midfielder Stewart, who was a youth player at Celtic’s Old Firm rivals Rangers, was impressed with the performance of Tierney.
