Kieran Tierney

KT: It is getting back to the way we want it, in the right direction and we hope we continue

KT: "It was always going to click in a game. It was the St Johnstone game where we got six goals which was great for us and after that we have had a few goals each game which is great so to continue that form would be amazing."

KT: "To have depth and competition in every position is great. You can't take your foot off the gas. If you are not performing, someone else will come in. It forces everybody to be at their best all the time.

KT: "In two years we've won six trophies. There is going to come a time when it's not going to work for you. Fortunately, for us, it was at the start of the season so we have the rest of the season to correct it.

: "Ryan is a hard worker, whether he is in the team or not. Even when he went on loan, he worked hard and it has paid off for him. He came on in the semi-final and changed the game for us. His finish was absolutely brilliant."

@DundeeFC
: "There is no complacency with us. We know it is going to be a hard game, whether their run of form is good or bad, we know it is going to be a tough game. We are looking to get a good result and hopefully we can do that."

 

Who's that in the Grey jacket?

 

Boy from the Celtic media team.

Canny mind his name.

 

Laith Al Naeme - Social media guy.

 

Some naeme..

 

Sounds like he should be pulling the strings in central midfield for Celta Vigo or somebody

Edit: just saw what you did... *

 

KIERAN Tierney admits he's had to leartn to deal with the pressure of Celtic fans expecting him to be ‘brilliant’ in every game.

Still 21, he will play his 153rd game for the Parkhead club, his 23rd of this season, at Dens Park tonight and it is his consistency which has made him such a vital player in the Brendan Rodgers’s era.

Tierney doesn't have many bad performances against his name, he’s been one of the few Celtic players to regularly to stand up even in the European defeats, but with such consistency comes an expectation almost impossible to love up to.

If I walk off the pitch after 90 minutes I know I’ve given everything I have. That all I can do, whether or not I’ve played well. That’s the attitude I go with.”

Tierney’s first real brush with criticism was after he scored an own-goal in Scotland colours for Israel on what was a dreadful night for the national team who lose the game and were outplayed.

The Celtic man said: “I probably deserved it, it was a bad mistake. That’s what happens when you are in the firing line - especially at centre-back. Loads of centre backs have scored own goals.



You are trying to do the right thing, unfortunately it didn’t work out.

“The one I am close to here is John Kennedy. He always says that if you score a hat-trick there is a line you never go above. Just as there is a line you never go below.

You need to stay steady - you don’t want to go too high and you don’t want to get too down. Both can have a negative effect.

“After an own goal or after you beat Rangers that’s not easy. But you cannot let it affect you. It’s something you have to deal with.

“I’m lucky I have a chance to redeem my Scotland mistake and hopefully we can do that.”

 

“There is a line you never go above”

“You don’t want to go too high”

* is John Kennedy spouting??

 

Maybe it's a trick. Don't get too good or some * will buy you.

 

Absolute machine of a boy.

 

Takes the * the tackles he has to take and that NEVER EVER result in red's..

Was done twice just before the Christie goal and then that shocker from Deacon almost knee high..

How can Muir spot that when he can't even spot a 2 handed save from a centre back 5 yard's from him?

 

Watched Sportscene they highlighted Bartleys tackle from the hibs/hearts game should've been a red exact same as the Deacon lunge on KT , they never even showed all our goals highlighting more so Dundee are pish rather than how great we were
