Today a bhoy from Wishaw comes of age- and few have achieved as much as Kieran Tierney.
As he celebrates his 21st birthday with some new gear from the Celtic Superstore he can look back on an incredible career to date and much more to come.
Towards the end of the 2014/15 season he made his debut as a substitute at Dens Park- a year later his performances alongside the goals of Leigh Griffiths were largely responsible for winning the fifth successive title.
That season brought deep disappointment with two Hampden semi-finals lost but a brand new chapter was about to open up under a new manager.

Brendan Rodgers realised that he had inherited a special talent, after two seasons together the partnership is working well.
As he heads towards his 200th Celtic appearance Tierney has collected 3 title medals, 2 Scottish Cup medals and one from the League Cup.
The PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year award has been picked up three times while he has captained Celtic and Scotland.
At 21 life is really beginning for KT- thousands of Celtic fans are going to enjoy his career and trophy cabinet develop.
