BBC Radio Scotland lose control after watching Celtic’s Kieran Tierney create Scotland history

It was all looking a bit ominous for Steve Clarke as he watched his Scotland side’s late 2-1 lead last just four minutes as Denmark scored in the 81st minute.

However, up stepped Kieran Tierney in stoppage time and the reaction on BBC Radio Scotland was simply magical.

Have a watch of this:

What a stunning piece of commentary as the Celtic defender made a commentary team normally famed for its professionalism, to lose all composure at such an historic moment in the country’s footballing history.

What fans might not know about how Scotland, Denmark and Celtic hero Kieran Tierney are linked

Tierney has 53 caps for Scotland and has played at the Euros, starred against England and has also overseen big wins against Norway, Spain and Greece.

But what fans might not know is that Tierney, Scotland and Denmark are all interlinked.

The Celtic defender made his Scotland debut way back in March 2016. And who did Tierney face? You guessed it, Denmark.

The 1-0 win at Hampden was the catalyst for Tierney’s Scotland career as he rose to stardom for both club and country that year.

And now, what a fitting way to create Scotland history with a big win against the country Tierney made his debut against as next summer’s 2026 World Cup beckons for the Celtic hero.
