What Kieran Tierney's Celtic mate really thinks of superstar's Arsenal plastic bag moment
Parkhead punters love the down to earth star but Charlie Mulgrew believes there's much more to the hero than meets the eye Celtic have already got their blockbuster signing in the bag this summer – and it won't come with a fancy designer label. The big name new arrival is more likely to turn up at Parkhead with a couple of placcy bags under his arms than some trendy luggage. And that's one of the many reasons Hoops fans love Kieran Tierney. The returning hero is a top class player who is still bang in his prime. The 27-year-old was sensational in his first stint at Celtic and superb in the English Premier League with Arsenal – where there were a queue of clubs looking to snap him up at the end of his Emirates contract. Yet Tierney has always remained the same down-to-earth lad from Wishaw despite all his fame and fortune. And punters loved it when he was snapped turning up for Scotland duty with plastic bags rather than the usual Louis Vuitton numbers usually spotted with big time pros. It just summed him up, but former teammate Charlie Mulgrew reckons people shouldn't be fooled by the everyman image. Tierney is something special but it's not the baggage claim that matters – it's what's under his shirt. Mulgrew was part of the Hoops squad when the full back burst into the Hoops side at 17-years-old and immediately clocked how the youngster carried himself. He said: 'KT just loves playing football. But I don't buy into the plastic bags thing though. 'It can be perceived in any way. It doesn't mean because you've got a nice bag you're no into football! 'I've seen plenty of boys with nice bags that are just the same as KT. 'People think he just loves his football because he's got a Farmfoods bag – meanwhile some kid gets written off as big time because he's got a nice bag. 'There's more to it than that – and more to him as well. 'It doesn't work that way. Wee Jamesie Forrest had a nice bag! "In fact, I bumped into him the other day and he had a nice watch ! "It doesn't mean he's not the same old Jamesie and he's chucked it and gone big time. 'He's still the same down to earth, professional person you could meet. KT is exactly the same. A brilliant guy. 'It doesn't matter what you wear, whether or not you have a bag, a fancy watch or tattoos, it's about your attitude and how you conduct yourself.' Mulgrew was blown away by Tierney right from the off after former gaffer Ronny Delia summed the kid up to the first team. He said: 'KT was brilliant when he came in. It was a change room where you could sort of sink or swim, there was a fair bit of banter flying about. 'But he was writing about it, no messing about. 'He wasn't really getting a game for the 21s but he was training with us indoors one day when the pitches were frozen when he broke his leg – but was back in six weeks. 'He had the right attitude. You could just tell he was going to grab his opportunity with both hands. 'Technically he wasn't amazing but when you've got that attitude and you've got that sort of willingness to learn you see where you can go. 'I just remember thinking he doesn't care, he just flies in everywhere ! "Right away I thought , 'he's got a chance ', because a lot of time young boys will come in and they'll be a bit quiet, a bit nervous or scared to do anything out of the ordinary, make a tackle or look like they really want the ball. 'Whereas he just didn't care, he was absolutely at it and he knew the reason he was brought into the first team was because of the intensity that he'd been showing . "He just delivered that again. 'He was just smashed into people, he was sprinting about and straight away you're like 'who the heck this?' 'That's the kind of guy you want beside you in my team. "He was really good, he was like an older player right away.' Tierney will return older and wiser – and an even better player. The all-action Scotland man signed off for the Gunners with a goal last weekend and was given the perfect goodbye from Arsenal fans – many who wanted him to stay. They're loss is Celtic's gain though and Mulgrew is convinced his old pal will pick up where he left at Parkhead. The only question marks are around Tierney's fitness after suffering serious setbacks over the years. But Mulgrew has no fears and said: 'It's brilliant. It's a great signing and he's somebody that fans will take to straight away. Everyone will know what he brings – he's a top player. 'He'll be determined to be as successful as he's already been at Celtic. 'If you look over the last few seasons he keeps getting wee niggles. 'I've been there myself as a player, it's so frustrating when you start getting wee niggles it's really hard to put your finger on the reasons , but I'm sure he's done his research. 'It'll frustrate him, he'll be demented with it, but I'm sure he'll have a way now of dealing with these injuries and know his body even better now. "I'd imagine that the pace of the game in Scotland won't be quite like the Premier League as Celtic dominate a lot of the ball and you're not running against the ball a lot of the time, not doing as many high intensity runs.'

Charlie Mulgrew makes Celtic and Kieran Tierney claim
Taylor, 27, may have played his last game for the Hoops after their Scottish Cup final loss to Aberdeen, with a new deal looking unlikely. Tierney is returning from Arsenal this summer and is expected to be the first choice when fit. However, Mulgrew believes Taylor can still secure a starting spot. Read more: West Ham set to sign Celtic wonderkid Neil Lennon appointed permanent Dunfermline manager He said: "As a Celtic fan, I would love to see Greg stick around. "He does that inverted role brilliantly, and between him and Tierney, they can still have enough games between them over a season. "It's unrealistic to play every single game at Celtic because there are 60 games in a season, so there's plenty there for the two of them. "You imagine KT will be looking to stay fit, but you don't know how realistic that is. "He's probably not going to play 60 games at the level, so I'd love to see Greg Taylor stay because he offers a lot for the changing room." Mulgrew also emphasised the importance of competition for Tierney, saying: "Tierney will still need that competition to know that he's not just going to be there every game. "Greg would provide that perfectly, and he's got the determination and attitude to be in the team. "He'll want to fight to be in there, and you just never know, Taylor could get the jersey. "Football's a funny game sometimes."

'Unbelievable' Greg Taylor urged to stay at Celtic
And he insists Taylor might just come out on top of that battle. The 27-year-old may have played his last game for the Hoops as they lost the Scottish Cup final on penalties to Aberdeen. He's yet to agree on a new deal and that is looking increasingly unlikely. Celts have Kieran Tierney coming back on a pre-contract from Arsenal this summer and that could be what is putting Taylor off as Tierney would be seen as a first pick when fit. But Mulgrew points out it's a long season and more than one player will be needed for the position, especially with the homecoming hero's injury history. In any case, Mulgrew wouldn't rule out Taylor nailing down a starting jersey.

These are the world's best cities for 2025, according to Oxford economists — see how New York fared
We're the best around, and nothing's ever going to keep us down. New York City has been named the best city in the world for 2025 by Oxford Economics' Global Cities Index. This marks the second consecutive year that the Big Apple has topped the annual list, which features more than 50 major metropolises across the globe. Naturally, ranking the 'best' city on Earth might sound a bit loaded, but Oxford Economics tried to keep things objective by evaluating 1,000 of the most populous urban jungles on a variety of metrics encompassing five broad categories: economics, human capital, quality of life, environment and governance. The metropolises were then given scores out of 100 based on their overall performance. 4 The Big Apple snagged the first spot with a perfect 100 score overall and in the economics sector. Tierney – With that method, Oxford Economics could glean 'a nuanced understanding of each city's strengths and weaknesses,' per the site. This year, eight of the top 10 cities maintained their spots, which Oxford Economics experts felt demonstrated these hubs' remarkable resilience against current 'trade tensions' and other threats to 'economic growth worldwide.' 4 London ranked second, due in part to its high GDP. Iryna – The Big Apple snagged the 1st spot with a perfect 100 score overall and in the economics sector. Experts attributed this to the city's large gross domestic product (GDP), enviable income per person, and its abundance of corporate headquarters. NYC didn't perform so well in the governance and environmental sectors — ranking 168th and 161st, respectively — with experts flagging its low economic diversity and high housing expenditures. Coincidentally, the Big Apple boasts the most billionaires on Earth with a staggering 123 10-figure-plus hotshots worth a collective $759 billion. 4 The Big Apple boasts the most billionaires on Earth, with a whopping 123. Luciano Mortula-LGM – London, meanwhile, retained its second-place slot in this metropolitan Olympiad with an overall score of 98.5. The UK powerhouse excelled in the human capital category, notching a perfect 100, which experts felt was due to the city's 'world-leading universities, diverse labor force, and large pool of international headquarters.' Also enviable was their economic performance — a credit to the city's high GDP. 4 Paris scored high when it came to quality of life due to its 'plethora of world-renowned cultural sites and high life expectancy,' per the Index. zigres – Rounding out the top five were Paris, France; San Jose, California; and Seattle, Washington, with Oxford gurus noting that all three meccas have top economics scores. Paris excelled in this regard 'due to the sheer size of its economy,' while 'tech hubs' San Jose and Seattle boasted 'high levels of GDP per person,' per the index. They were also generally happier, according to the survey. 'While these three cities score slightly lower than New York and London on the human capital front, they outperform the top two cities in terms of quality of life,' the authors wrote. San Jose and Seattle landed 91.5 and 88.1, respectively, in that area, compared to NYC's 83.8, while Paris nabbed a 93.2 quality-of-life rating. 'Paris benefits from its plethora of world-renowned cultural sites and high life expectancy, while residents of San Jose and Seattle have among the highest average incomes in the world.' Further, the U.S. had eight cities in the top 20, with Los Angeles, California; Washington, D.C.; and Dallas, Texas, placing 11, 12 and 19, respectively. Here are the top 10 cities: New York, US (100) London, UK (98.5) Paris, France (94.4) San Jose, California, US (94.2) Seattle, US (91.8) Melbourne, Australia (90.7) Sydney, Australia (90.6) Boston, US (90.3) Tokyo, Japan (90.3) San Francisco, US (90.3).
