I'm too young to remember Danny, but my auld man always described him as the best FB in the world in his prime. Might have been an exaggeration, but My Da was a hard man to impress.

Alonso and Azpilicueta at Chelsea Rose at Spurs Clichy at Man City Baines at Everton Bertrand at Southampton Pieters at Stoke All better left backs than KT (IMHO). He has the potential.....head and shoulders above anything in the Scottish game. Champions League shows his weaknesses. However, if he continues to develop like he has been doing he'd be right up there with the best. If he can add more goals to his assists that would be another plus.

I agree with all you say. Reason I asked is that I didn't see Danny week in week out at that stage, but for me only he and Larsson would have been good enough to make the Lion's team. Tierney is a player that makes you anticipate something is going to happen when he is on the ball going forward, excellent defender in the making and is teak tough. Just wondering if Danny was as impressive in his first two years. |

I've never seen a better full back than Danny McGrain and he could play on either side too as we saw for Scotland, which was essentially to accommodate Sandy Jardine, another fine player, at right back. |

Has the potential to be world class someday soon if he continues at this rate. Easily One of the best young talent in the U.K at the moment. Absolutely delighted for him. Keep it up KT! |

If he can avoid any major injuries that will take the edge off his attacking game then he'll just get better and better as his defensive instincts get better with experience. |

Embodies Celtic. Still a bit to go in terms of his composure in his own half at times, but his ability to pick out a cut back is unbelievable. Not sure I've ever saw a full back hit his man so much with those. |

I thought the very same when watching him today. There is no holding back with him at all. He flew into a fair few tackles when you'd not have faulted him if he'd held back a little. |

I grew up with DMcG and he is the greatest player I have seen in a Celtic shirt, KT has still a long way to go to come any where near Danny but he is getting there faster than I could have ever imagined. He seems to have a character & integrity from a bygone age coupled with a growing ability to be one of the best full backs in Europe. |

Agree with that, but I think Rodgers also has players knowing where to position themselves properly too. |

I'm a big critic of tierney but that's a nonsense.
