Tierney shows value as Celtic title defence begins with win
BBC Scotland looks at the impact of Kieran Tierney in Celtic's win over Dundee in the Scottish Premiership.
Celtic's Kieran Tierney played a crucial role in the team's victory over Dundee during the club's title defence. Despite not being the league's top scorer, Tierney was instrumental in the win, registering 12 assists the previous season and creating more chances than any other Celtic player. The left-back's precise crosses and defensive contributions were invaluable for the team.
Manager Brendan Rodgers praised Tierney and captain Callum McGregor as the backbone of the team, expressing delight in having them. The manager also mentioned that Celtic is looking into bringing in cover for Tierney, given his importance to the club. Former Celtic captain Scott Brown echoed Rodgers' sentiment, stating that Tierney is an integral part of the team and will not be leaving.
