Magic Kieran Tierney moments Celtic fans want to see again including A&E dash, megaphone chats and 40 yard rockets
Hoops fans are welcoming back their hero and Record Sport looks back at the times that made the defender a favourite Celtic fans are celebrating the return of Kieran Tierney and they are hoping the rampaging fullback can pick up where he left off at Parkhead. The 28-year-old left a modern day legend five-and-a-half years ago when Arsenal made an offer the club and player couldn't refuse. But he departed having made some incredible history – and picked up a ton of silverware. There's a reason Tierney is a fans' favourite and here six of his best memorable moments as supporters prepare for more. Mega man When Hoops fans picture Tierney, there is one image that sticks in their minds more than most – the scenes with the star and the megaphone. The defender was worshiped in the stands, and no more so than by the punters packed in the standing section. They knew Tierney would more than likely be in there with them if he wasn't on the pitch. And the connection was witnessed like never before when he went into the stands to pick up a megaphone to lead the sing-song celebrations after lifting the Premiership title in 2017. He repeated the trick at Hampden after the League Cup Final win six months later and a legend was born. Tierney said: 'It was seriously like an out-of-body experience. I've got the megaphone and I'm leading the chants with people I used to actually sit in the stands with. That is fairytale stuff.' Hampden heroics Tierney wowed the punters with his displays on the pitch in his time at Celtic – but it was a huge act off it that endeared him even more to the supporters. The Scottish Cup Final in 2017 could have been a nightmare for the full back as he was forced off inside the opening few minutes after taking a hefty blow in the mouth thanks to an elbow from Aberdeen's Jayden Stockley. Tierney was whisked away to hospital while the action raged on, with docs fearing a broken jaw at worst and several smashed teeth at best. But instead of sticking on the gurney and putting the feet up, KT checked himself out and headed back to the National Stadium – where he arrived in time to see Tom Rogic's dramatic winner to clinch the invincible Treble and then take part in all the post match celebrations. Even a bloody mouth didn't hold him back. Sharp shooter Tierney's attacking displays down the left led to a ton of goals for others but he had to wait a while to open his own account. He finally hit the net on trophy day at the end of his first full campaign, as Celts rounded off with a 7-0 victory against Motherwell as boss Ronny Delia said his goodbyes. Incredibly, for a player with a wicked left peg, it was his right foot that got him up and running, as he cut inside from the flank and buried in the bottom corner. Blast from the past Tierney got into a tie habit of notching from time to time and followed that debut season with a neat header in Inverness and a thumping strike against Ross County. But there's one strike that stands out from the lot – THAT hit against Kilmarnock. KT was never shy at having a pop but not many expected him to let go when he picked up the ball 45 yards from goal. Instead, he set himself and unleashed a rocket that screamed all the way into the top corner. It was one of those goals where the cheers don't come straight away. There's almost a pause as supporters can't quite believe what they've seen – and then there was the eruption. Pittodrie powerhouse There were too many top performances to mention, with star turns in thumping wins over Rangers and class displays on an almost weekly basis. But a couple of games in the Granite City also stood out – and summed him up. In a 3-0 win at Pittodrie Tierney raced 70 yards up the pitch to get on the end of an Olivier Ntcham cutback to score. And there was another lung burster later in the game when he dashed forward and picked out Moussa Dembele. The away support will remember the later clash though when Celts were 1-0 but down to 10 men and KT went on another charge the length of the pitch before slamming into the top corner to seal the victory. Eur up to the job It was quickly clear Tierney was top notch in Scotland with his displays on a weekly basis. Yet he enhanced his reputation even further with his performances in Europe. There was a goal in a Europa League victory against RB Leipzig in Rodgers' third campaign. It was the showing against Manchester City in his first taste of Parkhead in the Champions League where he really looked the real deal. Celts went toe-to-toe with the English big guns in Glasgow and KT was one of the stars of the show. He ran at the City backline all night and defended like his life depended on it at the other end. UEFA decided Raheem Sterling had scored an own goal in the 3-3 epic, but it was all down to Tierney as he proved he was cut out to play at the very top.
