Rob Holding has sent a message to Kieran Tierney on Twitter after the Arsenal man was filmed dancing in the changing room following Scotland’s EURO 2020 qualification.
After seeing the video, Holding wrote: ‘What a man! He was definitely on the tunes as well! Happy for you brother.’
To which Tierney replied: ‘Ma man!!! What a guy. Thank you.. haha u know.’
The former Celtic left-back – who earns £80,769-a-week at the Emirates according to Spotrac – helped his country qualify for their first major tournament in over 23 years with a penalty shootout win over Serbia, as per the BBC.
Incredibly, that means the 23-year-old had only recently been born when Scotland last partook in a major tournament, which was the World Cup in 1998.
Holding – who cost Arsenal £2.5 million – clearly has a great relationship with Tierney and was quick to congratulate him on Twitter.
The pair have been mainstays in Mikel Arteta’s backline so far this season, with the ex-Bolton man making five Premier League starts, while the Scottish full-back has seven Premier League starts.
They have helped Arsenal keep the joint second-best defence in the league with only ten goals conceded from the first eight games.
Tierney’s qualification for EURO 2020 should be beneficial for Arteta.
The left-back is one of Scotland’s best players and presumably won’t need to fight for his place, but he certainly won’t want to let his performance levels drop and risk losing out on a place in Steve Clarke’s starting XI for the tournament.
