David Provan has stated in The Scottish Sun that Liverpool star Andrew Robertson is a better wing-back than Celtic ace Kieran Tierney.

Robertson and Tierney are two of the best left-backs in Europe, and both are quite attacking in their mindset.

While the 24-year-old Liverpool star has established himself as a key figure in Jurgen Klopp’s side, the 20-year-old Celtic ace, who can also operate as a central defender, is the undisputed first-choice left-back at Celtic Park.

Former Celtic and Scotland international winger Provan has claimed that Robertson is the better of the two wing-backs, and has also explained why.

Provan wrote in The Scottish Sun: “Who is the better wing-back, Andy Robertson or Kieran Tierney?

“For me, Robbo shades it, but only because he’s doing it consistently at a higher level than the Celtic youngster.”

Scotland are the winners

Robertson playing in the Premier League and in the Champions League regularly and Tierney gong from strength to strength at Celtic can only be good for the Scotland national football team.

It must be a good problem to have for Scotland national football team head coach Alex McLeish, as he can choose which one to play or perhaps even play the duo together in different positions if need be.
