FORMER CELTIC STAR KIERAN TIERNEY had a moment to forget when he attempted a back-pass early on in the 3-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa. Usually so assured, Tierney appears to get his foot caught in the surface before falling awkwardly. Villa couldn’t make anything of the mistake but did win comfortably, which will annoy the top professional that is KT.

The left-back made over 170 appearances for Celtic, winning five league titles and three League Cups and Scottish Cups during his time whilst enjoying hero status with supporters as being ‘one of us’.
Tierney is a product of Celtic’s Academy and a lifelong supporter but his sale is also part of the club’s business plan. Produce and sell top talent and reinvest – whether they always do this is debatable but Tierney was a top servant and is welcome back anytime.
