Celtic fans have been quick off the mark to ridicule the ‘Tierney for Bournemouth’ transfer flyer.

The young defender couldn’t be happier with life with the hoops, signing a contract extension until 2022 earlier this season and sitting, or standing and singing, among the fans last week in the 3-1 win away to Hearts.

Supporters of most clubs have a chant of ‘He’s one of our own’ but it’s doubtful if any current player has greater fan credentials than the kid from the Wishaw Emerald.

Much bigger clubs that Bournemouth have looked at and been linked with Tierney but there is little doubt that he will remain at Celtic for the next two seasons, after that Barcelona or Real Madrid would struggle to drag him away from the prospect of winning 10-in-a-row.

Tierney made his Celtic debut as a 17-year-old and replaced Honduran internationalist Emilio Izaguirre within six months of getting his first start.

Earlier this season he made his 100th Celtic appearance and has captained the club in the absence of Scott Brown.
