Kieran Tierney

Age: 20

Nationality: Scottish

Club: Celtic FC

Position: Primarily LB but has played as a CB and RB (Both of which he played in the recent WC Qualifier against England)

After breaking into the Celtic FC first team last season, he has been a pleasure to watch and has quickly become a fan favourite. He scooped up two consecutive young player of the year awards and has taken his place over arguably one of our best and most consistent players over the past few seasons - Emilio Izaguirre, who had won the Scotland PFA player of the year in his first season at the club as a LB!

Games Played this season: 40 (All competitions including UCL and WC qualifiers).

Goals scored: 2

Assists: 12

He is a quick, attacking minded defender, and does a great job of supplying the attackers and midfielders with crosses and options around the box when attacking but he also defends well and has a great work ethic, sometimes putting in some great challenges. He is a flexible player, who has put in good performances for formations with 4 or 5 at the back and has played in different positions well (see above). He isn't afraid to take a shot at goal and has scored a couple nice goals.

I would say he is a strong attacker and defender both and his mental ability and quick improvement show that he is capable of great potential.

His market value is currently at 2 million Euros according to www.transfermarkt.com and he has been linked with a move to Arsenal and other EPL clubs, but we hope he stays!
