"Kieran Tierney has been unfairly tagged as an injury-prone player who couldn't hack the rough and tumble of the Scottish Premiership, especially after his difficult spell in England. So far this season, the Celtic full-back has made 42 appearances scoring five goals and creating 11 assists as Tierney helps keep the Hoops' title defence alive."
"There were lingering doubts about Tierney's ability to remain fit for the rigours of Scottish football at Celtic and it's clear the Hoops star has rammed those where the sun doesn't shine. As for Tierney coming up to Scotland for an easy life, this season's title defence has proved that theory all wrong."
"As Celtic sit second in the Scottish Premiership table, five points from Hearts in first place, fans have watched how the Parkhead club have battled with Rangers and Motherwell to keep up with the Tynecastle club. Admittedly, Celtic's standards have fallen, however, what cannot be denied is that Hearts and Motherwell and even Hibs have all raised their games this season."
Kieran Tierney's return to Celtic in summer was dismissed by many English pundits as an easy option for the former Arsenal defender, reflecting widespread disdain for Scottish football. However, this season has definitively proven those critics wrong. Tierney has made 42 appearances, scoring five goals and providing 11 assists while maintaining impressive fitness levels, starting 35 matches and completing 70 minutes or more in 29 outings. The notion that he couldn't handle Scottish football's demands has been thoroughly dispelled. Additionally, Celtic's competitive title defence demonstrates the Scottish Premiership is no easy proposition, with Hearts, Motherwell, Hibernian, and Falkirk all raising their standards significantly this season.
