Some fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney for Scotland tonight.

Tierney was in action for Scotland in their 2022 World Cup qualifier against Israel this evening.

The Arsenal star plays at left-back for the Gunners, but for Scotland tonight, he started on the left of a back-three.

Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson was playing further forward.

It was done partly to include both Tierney and Robertson in the same team.

It was not a particularly great performance from Tierney and Scotland in the first half, but they stepped up in the second period.

Tierney was strong at the back and was also pushing his team forward.

The former Celtic left-back played two key passes, had a pass accuracy of 83.7%, won one header, took 68 touches, attempted one dribble, made one tackle and one interception, and put in four crosses.

Liverpool star Andy Robertson provide two assists, and Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay scored the late winner.

Scotland won 3-2.

Some fans were impressed by Tierney tonight and have raved about him on Twitter.
