Arsenal left back Kieran Tierney was in action on Sunday evening as Scotland beat Luxembourg 1-0 away in a pre-Euro 2020 friendly.
Scotland are gearing up for Euro 2020, and will head into the competition off the back of a win having beaten Luxembourg.
Che Adams’ first-half goal was enough for the win, but Scotland will be disappointed not to have kicked on after Vahid Selimovic’s red card.
Steve Clarke has his Scotland side ready to go against the Czech Republic next weekend, and Tierney is likely to be a key part.
The left back dilemma; Arsenal’s Tierney or Liverpool’s Robertson?
That’s been the conundrum for a while. Tierney and Andrew Robertson are arguably Scotland’s two most talented players, but they both play at left back.
We’ve seen Robertson as a winger and Tierney as a right-back, but Clarke looks to have made his decision. Tierney at left-sided centre back and Robertson as left wing-back appears to be the way.
That’s how Scotland lined up on Sunday, and fans took to Twitter to praise Tierney’s performance.
Scotland fans hail Tierney
Some branded Tierney as ‘different class’, suggesting that he and Robertson were offering a ‘brilliant’ tandem down the left.
Others feel that Tierney is already the best left back around, though one Celtic fan admitted to feeling ‘sick’ at the fee the Bhoys received for Tierney in 2019.
