Great stuff Ross, this is a fantastic piece of business by the club and it should be applauded, my only worry is that the hammer throwers will target him as per the last time he was with us…
The physical nature of the league is a concern, but it's also about his no holds barred approach and that's what makes him such an easy player to love (remember the cup final; to hospital and back), I just hope he and the club don't push beyond the limit, allow the sports science guys to have a freedom to voice educated opinions that are respected.
A player of Tierney's quality is a very welcome addition, a Scot adding to the home-grown contingent for Europe equally so. However, of more interest is who'll be the back-up/job share left back? Current speculation seems to be solid Scots like Penrice or Doig, or do we go with youth like either Hartley Mills from Peterborough, or our very own Mitchell Frame. Or, even Liam Scales or Adam Montgomery (remember him!) In my mind, that'll give an insight into Rodgers' thinking of how many games Tierney can play in a season. Whomever it is, l really hope Kieran proves Rodgers wrong.

Very true, also he’s a more mature lad now, so he’ll know his body better than anyone, looking forward to see how we utilise him, cheers
