Kieran Tierney expresses Scotland love as Arsenal and Celtic diehard reacts after stunning Spain win

Kieran Tierney has expressed his love for Scotland.

The Arsenal defender was handed a major role in the Euro 2024 qualifying double-header as Steve Clarke's men got the group up and running with two wins. They dumped Cyprus 3-0 at Hampden on Saturday before recording a stunning 2-0 triumph over Spain.

It was an incredible night for the Tartan Army under the lights at the national stadium as Scott McTominay fired home twice for the Dark Blues. It followed up his two strikes off the bench against Cyprus with the feel good factor at the beginning of this qualifying route up and running with two games against Norway and Georgia to come in June.

Tierney has struggled for game-time under former Rangers midfielder Mikel Arteta at the Emirates this season with Oleksandr Zinchenko the preferred first choice after an excellent debut campaign since arriving from Manchester City. The Celtic diehard has had to watch on and pick up most of his appearances from the bench but he's a key man for his country and played 90 minutes against Cyprus and 78 against Spain before being replaced.

The full-back will be hoping his performances have impressed his club bosses as he looks to force his way back into the side. The left-back - who can also play centre-back - has been linked with a big summer departure with the likes of Newcastle United linked.

Rangers hero Barry Ferguson has previously expressed that a deal at the rumoured £30million cost would be an absolute snip for any club and he would sign him in a heartbeat.

The international break has proved a welcomed change from the struggles at the English Premier League leaders with Tierney posting action shots from the two wins in Mount Florida online alongside a Scotland flag and red love heart.

The Gunners are back in action this weekend with a home clash against Leeds United. They then come up against the likes of Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea before the end of April.
