Injured striker Moussa Dembele has joined in the praise of Kieran Tierney.
The Frenchman is currently out injured with a hamstring problem but tat didn’t prevent him from admiring the near 40 yard effort from his team-mate.
Another very good team performance yesterday but Wow ????@kierantierney1 ????????????@celticfc https://t.co/cU6HIg8yN3

Almost all of Dembele’s goals are from within the penalty box with 32 strikes last season making him one of the most wanted strikers in Europe.
Celtic will have to rely on Leigh Griffiths for the Champions League qualifiers against Astana with no concerns over his form.
Last night the Scotland striker scored twice before being replaced by James Forrest in the 64th minute with Griffiths still to play a full 90 minutes this season.
Griffiths will lead the line against Partick Thistle on Friday then have five days preparations for the home leg against Astana.
The 5-0 win over Kilmarnock takes Celtic into the last eight in their defence of the League Cup which was won last season with a 3-0 victory over Aberdeen.
