Kierney Tierney has backed Kevin Nisbet to score goals at ANY level including Celtic as he heaped huge praise on the 'natural goalscorer'.
The Hibs star has returned from long-term injury with a bang and has netted five goals in his last two outings for Lee Johnson's men. The Easter Road side are desperate to keep the Scotland international in Leith on extended terms but reports claim Ange Postecoglou is one of those tracking the striker.
If he was to make the move to the Scottish champions, fans' favourite and diehard fan Tierney is in no doubt his good pal would bang goals in for fun. As a youth he once scored over 100 goals in a season with the Arsenal star in no doubt he would find the net at any level of the game.

KT told the Scottish Sun : “Kev’s the kind of player who could go anywhere, not just Celtic, and score. He’s a born goalscorer.
“I was playing in the younger age groups with him, he was always the top goalscorer for us. One season, he had over 100 goals.
“I know it’s different when you’re younger. But you still don’t score 100 goals if you are not a natural goalscorer.
“So he could easily score goals at any level, I’ve no doubt about that.”
