Celtic fans react on Twitter to Tierney display v Hearts
By Will Butcher
Celtic fans lauded fan favourite Kieran Tierney on Twitter as he shone in the Bhoys’ 4-0 win over Hearts on Sunday at Parkhead.
The 19-year-old is considered one of Scotland’s best current prospects, and he proved exactly why by looking a class above against Ian Cathro’s side.
Bombing down the left to support the attack as Brendan Rodgers like his full-backs to do, the Hoops’ number 63 was also solid at the back and gave little away to Hearts’ attackers.
Arguably providing the most creativity compared to the rest of the Celtic side, Tierney was in impressive form as he secured his 15th victory in 23 league and cup encounters this term.
Celtic fans reacted with joy on Twitter to their academy product’s display, with some claiming that he’s the 47-time Scottish Premiership champions best academy product in 30 years.
Here is a selection of their messages on Twitter:

Tierney suffered a broken ankle in training towards the end of last year, which kept him out of the squad from the end of October until January 22.
The Mirror claimed earlier this month that Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City all want to sign Tierney, despite the youngster having a contract with the Hoops until 2021.
