MULGREW RECKONS KT IS STILL SAME

CELTIC have already got their blockbuster signing in the bag this summer - and it won't come with a fancy designer label.

The big name new arrival is more likely to turn up at Parkhead with a couple of plastic bags under his arms than some trendy luggage.

And that's one of the many reasons Hoops fans love Kieran Tierney. The returning hero is a top class player who is still bang in his prime.

The 27-year-old was sensational in his first stint at Celts and superb in the English Premier League with Arsenal where there were a queue of clubs looking to snap him up at the end of his Emirates contract.

Yet Tierney has always remained the same down-to-earth lad from Wishaw despite all his fame and fortune.

And punters loved it when he was snapped turning up for Scotland duty with plastic bags rather than the usual Louis Vuitton numbers usually spotted with big time pros.

It just summed him up, but former team-mate Charlie Mulgrew reckons people shouldn't be fooled by the everyman image.

Tierney is something special but it's not the baggage claim that matters it's what's under his shirt.

Mulgrew was part of the Hoops squad when the full-back burst into the Hoops side at 17-years-old and immediately clocked how the youngster carried himself.
