Kieran Tierney earns Arsenal 'hard as nails' verdict as Aaron Ramsdale quip hints at viral pic of Scotland star

Kieran Tierney hasn't had his best season at Arsenal with Mikel Arteta preferring Oleksandr Zinchenko at left-back, but the defender is still a favourite amongst his team mates - with shotstopper Aaron Ramsdale labelling the Scotland star "hard as nails."

The former Celtic full-back hasn't featured as much as he would have liked this season after Zinchenko's move from Manchester City to North London in the summer. Manager Arteta has picked Tierney to start in the league just four times this season with 11 appearances coming from the bench. In six appearances in the Europa League he has played more minutes than he has in his 15 in the league this season.

But Tierney has always been a fans' favourite and the same goes with his team mates. England goalkeeper Ramsdale was asked by ESPN to give his verdict on the dressing room, but he couldn't pick one for Tierney instead opting for three. With a grin, he told the American broadcaster: "Hard as nails."

The Scotland international went viral on social media after he was picked in a t-shirt and shorts during snowy conditions during a training session. The rest of his team mates were spotted with trousers, jumpers, gloves and hats on but the Scots looked like he couldn't care less about the mercury in the capital.
