Celtic fans were delighted with the news that Kieran Tierney has signed a new contract keeping him at Celtic until 2023.
The 20-year-old has been a firm fans favourite since he made his debut under Ronny Deila and is now closing in on his 100th top team performance.
Tierney’s career has been well documented through social media with video clips of him with Shunsuke Nakamura as well as with an angry Celtic da after losing to Ross County in the 2010 Scottish Cup semi-final.
Kieran Tierney further confirming that he is the greatest living human being on earth…

As well as his devotion to the club the bhoy from Wishaw is one of the top emerging talents in Europe and arguably the best left-back in Britain.
Straight away Brendan Rodgers recognised the defenders ability and was delighted to inherit such a talent when he took over from Deila.
Last season’s Scottish Cup Final summed up everything about Tierney when he battled his way through the traffic to collect his Scottish Cup winners medal after having teeth removed by Jayden Stockley.
