Homecoming hero Kieran Tierney backs Brendan Rodgers to cope with speculation over the Celtic manager's future
Kieran Tierney believes Brendan Rodgers will cope with the ongoing speculation surrounding his long-term future at Celtic. The Northern Irishman is entering the final year of his contract and, despite having touched on the matter in talks with the club's powerbrokers at the end of the last campaign, there's been no indication yet that he will agree to stay on beyond 2026. But Tierney, who was persuaded by the 52-year-old to return to the club from Arsenal this summer, claims the uncertainty surrounding the manager's position will have no bearing on how he or the team perform. 'I don't think he'll bother too much about the kind of outside noise,' said Tierney. 'He'll just get on with his job because he knows he's got a job to do. And, as his players, we've got a job to do. And we need to do it to the best of our ability. 'That takes hard work and commitment every single day, no days off and just being at it every day. 'I think with the captain that we've got, it's perfect having Callum (McGregor) and the manager as well together. It's a perfect combination.' Tierney won two Trebles in Rodgers' first spell before completing a £25million move south in 2019. Having been reunited with Rodgers, he feels the Northern Irishman is just as committed to the cause as the manager he first encountered. 'It's amazing how much he actually works and the effort he puts in,' he added. 'We saw the benefits of it the other night (in the friendly win over Sporting Lisbon). 'We played really well, some good passages of play against a top team. 'It just shows you how passionate he is that you can still see him shouting and wanting more. And you need that if you are going to win these trophies. 'You need to be 100 per cent all the time, whether it's a pre-season friendly, a Champions League qualifier, Scottish Cup or the league. You need to be on it every single day, even in training. You need to be on it and the manager makes sure that we are.' A decade after making his debut for his boyhood heroes, Tierney returns to Parkhead today for the first time in six years as Rodgers' team step up their pre-season training with a friendly against Newcastle. 'It will be a very special day,' he said. 'It'll be the first time I've been on the park for six years, so it's a long time. That will be amazing.'

Thomas Frank admits perfect 20-year career record is at risk after taking Tottenham job under trigger-happy Daniel Levy
THOMAS FRANK has never been sacked before — but knows that proud record is at 'risk' now he is working for Daniel Levy. The Dane became the 14th permanent manager of chairman Levy's quarter of a century running Spurs when he succeeded Europa League-winner Ange Postecoglou last month. 3 3 He was finally unveiled 36 days on from his appointment and hit with questions on a number of burning issues. What is going on with captain Son Heung-min? What about Cristian Romero? And where are we at with the pursuit of Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White? He remained tight-lipped on a number of 'good questions', as he put them, and certainly went nowhere near any potential incoming transfer business. It felt quite a guarded first session with the media from the former Brentford boss. But one answer that did reveal the wit and charm he so often displayed at the Gtech came early on, when asked if Levy's trigger-happy record with managers worried him. After all, Spurs had sacked five bosses during Frank's near seven-year stint with the Bees. The 51-year-old replied: 'Only five? I like to challenge myself. 'I have the privilege of having never been sacked before. That is one of the reasons why I took the job. I get a little bit more risk in my daily life! 'Coming to a big club, there are pressures. We need to perform, because it is 'we'. It's me, it's the staff, the players and everyone — we need to do that together. I like the ambitions. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 'Everything I do, every decision I've made so far, is for the long term. 'It's not about surviving one game or one year or 18 months or whatever the average is. It's for the long run.' Frank started his managerial career at Boldklubben of 1893 II back in 2004 before taking over the youth side of Lyngby BK in Denmark. He then worked his way up the youth sides in the Denmark set up until he was appointed as Brondby IF manager in 2013. After three years at the club he made the switch to England and took over Brentford and helped the club reach and stay in the Premier League. Levy ruthlessly sacked Postecoglou last month despite the Australian landing the club's first trophy in 17 years by beating Manchester United in Bilbao to win the Europa League. Postecoglou paid the price for an awful Premier League campaign which saw the club finish 17th. And Frank stressed how he must make a squad robust enough to fight on four fronts this season, including the Champions League. Levy said last month that winning the Europa League was not enough, that he has set his sights on winning the Prem and Champions League. Though there was no timeframe put on that lofty goal, some may argue it is unrealistic, given the competition Spurs are up against. Title-winners Liverpool splashed out £100million on Florian Wirtz, while Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal are all investing heavily. Spurs paid West Ham £55m for Mohammed Kudus and are willing to exceed that with Gibbs-White. Even so, Levy's target is a stretch. Frank said: 'I share his ambitions for the club. A club of this size should have that ambition. How far away we are is very difficult to say. 'But we should throw it forward and go for it. No doubt that needs to be the aim for the future. 'What are the odds for us winning the Premier League this season? I'm not allowed to gamble either . . . so I think we're probably not favourites. 'Probably three teams at least are ahead of us — but we will do what we can to build a strong and competitive team.' Frank still has a number of players working their way back from injury but revealed playmaker James Maddison, who missed the end of the season with ligament damage, is closest to returning and is 'part-training with the team'. Asked about the pursuit of fellow No 10 Gibbs-White, Frank replied: 'I will not speak about players who are not mine. 'I think I have two exceptions, and they are getting older... Ronaldo and Messi.'

England's rotten penalties against Sweden stink of poor planning, writes IAN HERBERT
Anyone can miss a penalty in the heat of the big occasion. Stuart Pearce and Gareth Southgate are testament to how it can feel. But nine misses out of 14 in one shootout? The sight of Grace Clinton's terribly weak connection after Sweden goalkeeper Jennifer Falk had ballooned a kick over the bar turned England 's shootout against Sweden into one of the worst ever at an international tournament. It was not a glorious advert for the women's game. In the aftermath, there were no material explanations from England's players as to why four of their players managed to miss and Beth Mead offered the flat observation that the team had practised every day and 'sometimes it doesn't go to plan'. But this reasoning did not account for what appeared to be a scandalous lack of preparation. We are told everything is joined up when it comes to England's teams — men and women — with marginal gains disseminating out from one cognitive core at St George's Park. But when it came to the most critical moment for the national women's team since their World Cup final in Sydney two years ago, the learning was sorely lacking. There has always been a little resistance to the men's game being brought into an assessment of the women's. As Lionesses manager at the 2019 World Cup, Phil Neville would bring his Manchester United hinterland into the conversation and cite Sir Alex Ferguson. Some frowned on this and on him. But now is the moment to point out how England's men have set an example for shootouts which Sarina Wiegman should have borrowed from. When penalties became a source of fear for the men, Southgate applied his mind to taking out the fear. He set up an 18-month taskforce to tackle the reasons for a hoodoo which brought six defeats out of seven. It was about 'controlling the controllables', with a huddle before the shootout limited to the takers, each player assigned a 'buddy' to welcome them back into the pack post-kick and — critically — players being drilled in not rushing. In the shootout against the Swiss at last year's Euros, when England scored all five of their kicks, the average wait time for each penalty was 5.2 seconds, compared with Switzerland's 1.3. The evidence of Thursday's England kicks in Zurich was that the work Southgate undertook for the men had gone to waste. Wiegman's penalty takers' average wait time — the gap from the whistle to the start of the run-up — was 3.6 seconds, with scorers Alessia Russo (5sec), Chloe Kelly (7.6) and Lucy Bronze (4.1) showing it pays to take your time. Lauren James allowed herself just one second. Mead took 1.5sec before missing, Alex Greenwood an extraordinary 0.8sec before fluffing her kick and Clinton 5sec. The choice and order of kickers leaves Wiegman with more questions to answer. Two of the experienced takers, Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone, had been substituted on 70 minutes, with England still trailing 2-0. So in sixth was Clinton, who had never taken a penalty before for England. Kelly, England's best player from the spot, was curiously only fifth, scoring England's best effort. The typically insouciant Wiegman provided no sense that England's problems would be a focus before Tuesday's semi-final against Italy in Geneva. She actually seemed to imply the ball had been a problem. 'Of course I was concerned,' she said. 'I know the players are capable of taking a penalty because they're really good. You can talk about the reasons — the fatigue, the ball, the whole picture of it, which is really hard.' But 'no', she replied to the question of whether extra work and thought were now needed. 'We have trained this. We know what players are capable of and we move on. Of course we prepare for a penalty shootout, because that's always a scenario, but I will not make it a big point.' The power of Bronze's decisive kick raised the question of why she, such an experienced player, had not been among the first five and was behind young Clinton. She stripped away strapping on her left leg and smashed her kick down the middle, later revealing she had been watching the Sweden keeper and seen her diving early each time. 'Statistically in shootouts it's risky for goalkeepers to stand still, so I thought, 'Go down the middle'.' Like most aspects of England's shootout, Bronze's logic seemed to have been thought out on the hoof. If the Swedes had not been even worse than England, the inquisition would have been far more severe.
