    I'd keep him, if he was willing.

    Dunno how much we could really get for him in terms of transfer fee, given his age and decline as a player.

    As mince as he has been lately, he still has alot of experience to offer both Tierney and the side. I'd be more than happy for him to continue to play a part.

    This starting 50 games a season though has to stop, he isn't good enough anymore not to be challenged or removed from that spot.

    I agree with this.

    I also think it would be madness to send him out on loan when we are struggling in that position. Tierney looks like he could be good enough.. give him a chance there. Be patient.

    Get him as many games as possible between now and January and if he's good enough keep him in the team, if not send him out on loan

    Always looked good when he's been in the team, about time we had a replacement for Izzy.

    I'd rather keep him. Though, I do appreciate the benefit of a loan to the right sort of club.
    If we were blessed with (or izzy bucks up) a consistently good left back, then I'd be open to him going out in January for a few months and having him back to be a first team player next season. But as we stand, we sort of need him more. We have no cover at left back, and he is a good age to be that for us. More we play him, the quicker he will learn more about the game. He will make mistakes, but he will learn from them.

    He Spoke to the Media today

    KT on positive words from Ronny Deila: "It means a lot, great for him to come out and say it after the game."

    KT: "But the game was all about bouncing back from midweek and I felt we did that well."

    KT: “Been absolutely delighted with the faith he has put in me. He has thrown me into some big games, which has been great.”


    KT on whether more young players are ready to step up:"Definitely, manager great with us, giving us the chance to train with 1st team."

    KT: "We have to do well in the U20s games and train well, and everyone is working hard to get their chance."

    KT: "At Celtic there are always going to be great players brought in. Up to us to work hard and prove why we should be there."

    KT: "Played in #UEL league which was a big step up for me as had only played 3 or 4 first-team matches before that."

    KT: "It was a step I was delighted to take and hopefully I can kick on."

    KT on Emilio Izaguirre: "He's a great player who has played in World Cups and the #UCL so I still have a long way to go."


    KT: "He has great experience, a great player. I still look up to him and he still gives me tips at training. He's been great with me."


    KT: "I just need to keep working on my weaknesses. Had meetings with manager, John Collins and John Kennedy and they've been great."

    KT: "They tell your positives and also your negatives and I work on them after training."

    KT: "The nerves going into the games are getting less and less each time so it helps me settle into the games quicker."

    KT: "Every position at Celtic has quality players so it's hard for young boys coming through but manager is giving us the chance."


    KT: "Still get a bit nervous as playing for the team I support & every time I step out on that park, I'm very grateful for the chance."

    KT: "I tend to look at older full-backs like Roberto Carlos. He was always attacking, wasn't afraid to shoot and a great defender."

    I was working at the weekend but seen the first half hour on Sunday and on sportcene on Sunday night

    From winning the penalty to beating his man for Thompson only to give away a outrageous free kick in uniteds favour you could see that the young lad had so much more confidence in himself going forward to when he was up against fenerbache. Really really impressed at this early stage and so glad to see a youngster come through the academy and likely to stay and get a right good chance compared to others because the left back role isn't exactly filled with players

    That ball for the goal was Robertson-esque. Not afraid to have a go either.
