Kieran Tierney broke an unlikely personal record after scoring for Celtic against Aberdeen.
Tierney made it two goals in as many games after he gave the Hoops the lead in the fifth minute at Pittodrie by latching onto Liam Scales’ flick to divert it past the Aberdeen goalkeeper.
That helped Celtic secure a 2-1 win against Aberdeen and move up to second in the table, as well as secure the left-back a new personal milestone.

Kieran Tierney is having his best goalscoring season

His strike against the Dons was his fifth of the season for the Hoops, which eclipses his previous highest total of four.

What do you think is the main reason behind Kieran Tierney’s goalscoring form this season?
How many goals do you think he will score?
Despite playing in the left-back role, he has become a real threat in goal and is one of Celtic’s top scorers this campaign.
Top prize for that award goes to Benjamin Nygren, who continues to outperform his xG and is closing in on 20 league goals for the season.
Kieran Tierney is one of the first names on the teamsheet
There is no way that Tierney can be dropped right now.
His shaky start due to recovering from various injuries left some supporters sceptical but he has won them over and looked the real deal.
It has been a while since the 28-year-old has had any lengthy time on the sidelines due to setbacks, and looks like he has fitted into being back at home perfectly.
Not only is he a great player, he is a great role model for the younger members of the squad in this busy end of season run-in.
