About Kieran Tierney in brief
Kieran Tierney is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a left-back or centre-back for Arsenal and the Scotland national team. Tierney came through the Celtic youth system and made his first team debut in April 2015, and his full international debut in March 2016. He joined Arsenal in August 2019 for a fee reported at £25 million, a record amount both for a Scottish national and for a player from the Scottish league.Tierney was crowned PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year for the second consecutive season on 7 May, making him the first to achieve this since Craig Levein in 1986. He suffered a jaw injury early in the 2017 Scottish Cup Final and had to be substituted for treatment. On 8 August 2017, Tierney was named as captain while also moving to central defender to command a back line of teenagers in a Scottish League Cup fixture against Kilmarnock.
He played in Celtic’s 2–0 victory over Aberdeen in the domestic Cup Final on 2 December 2018. Soon afterwards a hip injury meant he was ruled out of action for the early part of the 2019–20 season. He then suffered a double hernia operation in May 2019, which subsequently required hernia surgery. He made his Arsenal debut in a 5–0 win against Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup on 24 September 2019. He assisted the first goal in a 4–0 home win against Liege Standard Liege on 4 September. He has been named in the Arsenal squad for the UEFA Champions League qualifier against Real Madrid on 10 October.
