People think Robertson is better than him going forward as well. FFS.
If the new Scottish manager has half a brain he would drop Robertson and play KT in his best position.
Robertson has been class for us tbf. Tierney doesn't look like the same player on the right.

It's typical Scotland though we bring through 3 or 4 quality left backs and we've got left winger Anya and Steven effin' Whitaker as our options at rght back. :lol:

I would definitely keep Robertson as a starter and play him on the right as he cannot be any worse there than the current crop of right backs and would hopefully be more comfortable than KT.
Who are the three or four quality left backs?

If he continues to develop as he has over the last two seasons then he'll by far be one of the best FB's in the world,
I honestly don't see him playing that position long term.

Over the next few years I think we'll see him gradually being moved into a left sided midfield role.

He will never play left mid with any sort of regularity, he's not Gareth Bale. I'd guess that he'll play more at centre back than left mid over the next few years, but will mostly stick to his left back position. He has actually never played left mid for us, in his 96 first team games.

Can't see how we can keep him as the lure of the lucre on offer down south will surely turn his head.
We just can't compete with that.

I admit that I'm caught in two minds about whether I want him to stay with Celtic all his days or go away somewhere else and fulfil his promise.
I just keep on thinking that Paul McStay may have been able to play for a few years longer if he'd left when he had the chance instead of getting clogged every week by the carthorses in Scottish football.
Why cant he fulfil his promise at Celtic?

Why would you want one of our best players to leave?

Genuinely confused by this perspective.
He'll develop into a better player playing regular first team football in a top league in Europe with a team that is competetive in the Champions League. Any player would, it's an unfortunate fact.

I'd be gutted to see him go but wouldn't blame him at all with the potential he has.

It'd be more accurate to say two quality left backs and a handful of others who are capable whereas on the right we have to resort to playing a left midfielder it's that bereft of anyone decent.

So ill condense it.

Tierney is one of our own. Why would he need to leave to fulfill any ambition, in our current situation?

Get your nose out of the arses of the big 4 leagues and concentrate on Celtic ffs

Well said the assassin...

http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/celtic/15621679.Davie_Hay__Celtic_s_Kieran_Tierney_going_to_the_top__The_boy_is_there_already/


"There is a lot of talk about Kieran Tierney going to the very top level – but for me the boy is there already." Says David Hay


There is a lot of talk about Kieran Tierney going to the very top level – but for me the boy is there already.

So far as the manner of his performances go, there is no question that he is a phenomenal talent. He has captained Celtic at just 20 which shows a maturity about his character as well as a natural ability and in that left-back there are few who can live with him.

Spurs are the latest to be keeping close tabs on Tierney and while there is an expectancy that he will eventually move on to a bigger league but right now the boy could take his pick of clubs – and I mean that.


There isn’t a Premiership team in England who wouldn’t take him.

But for me, he is happy where he is and there is genuinally nothing about him which suggests his eye on a move. He is developing and getting better all the time and his performance against Aberdeen the other night was exceptional.

You can apply that message to the team in its entirety. There were half a dozen that could easily have taken the man of the match award but while Tierney stands out, so too did Moussa Dembele.

I have always maintained that he is a class apart and I mean no disrespect to Leigh Griffiths when I say that. Griffiths has upped his game and matured a huge amount over the last ten months or so, but Dembele is another quite extraordinary talent.

Both he and Tierney will be pivotal to Celtic next week when the club host Bayern Munich at Celtic Park on Tuesday night.

Listen mate, all I'm saying is if he went to a top club he'd develop into a better player. There's nae need to piss yer pants n get upset about it.

I even said if he decided to stay I'd give him the armband and a lifetime contract. I'd love it if he did.

Calm down ffs if you can't see the benefits to a young player with that ability moving out of Scotland then you are deluding yourself.

And if anyone begrudged him trying to fulfil his potential then you're being petty and need to gain a bit of perspective.

Most people on here are Celtic supporters first and foremost, which is why they're interested in Tierney staying.

His personal development is already going on. What do you think has been happening in the last 14 years since he signed for us as a wean, never mind the last 3 years where he's made the jersey his own and captained the team on occasion?

Maybe there are more folk out there who want to see him leave so it will make him a better player and help Scotland qualify for some tournament, but I'm pretty sure they're in a minority.

That's fair enough.

However there's no need for them to get upset about the suggestion a talented young Scottish player might want to go test themselves elsewhere and develop into a world class player and that other people might think the lad has that right.

I've no idea why grown adults, I presume, are acting so defensively about what I've said.

Maybe because no one cares about him leaving, far less if it's supposedly for the benefit of Scotland.

I actually think there's more chance of Andy Robertson ending up playing left mid than Tierney.

Tierney's a better defender than Robertson and better in possession, but for sheer explosive penetration going forward, I think Robertson just edges it.

Ultimately, it could end up going a few ways: Tierney keeps playing right back (not ideal); Tierney plays left back with Robertson ahead of him (probably my first choice); or Tierney moves into centre back, with Robertson on the left.

I'd say he'll be here for 10IAR at least. After that who knows. He'll be 23 by then with plenty of time on his side.

Robertson maybe edges Tierney in pace. Kieran's final ball, skill level and defensive abilities are all far better than Robertson, by a good few levels.
