The Scotland international started the Champions League Group C match and played for the entire 90 minutes, as the Bhoys played out a 3-3 draw at Celtic Park.

However, according to The Express, Tierney is in no rush to leave Celtic and manager Brendan Rodgers does not want to lose him.

Tierney is one of the most talented and promising young defenders in the Scottish Premiership and has made superb progress over the past few months.

(Reported) interest from Bayern shows just good the Scotland international left-back is.

If the European giants come calling in January or next summer, then it will be hard for Tierney to resist the temptation of playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world who regularly challenge for the Champions League.
