Brendan Rodgers believes Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney can provide a solution to Scotland's central defensive crisis. He played on the left-side of a three-man defence in last month's World Cup qualifying draw against England. The Celtic boss says: "When you look at Kieran, rather than being the stiff left-back who gets rid of the ball he is now cultured and can pass it and is quick in the recovery. In international football and European football, you don't need to be 6ft 3in to play centre-half." (Daily Mail)

St Johnstone's Blair Alston, on hearing that the FK Trakai players celebrated their 2-1 first-leg win at McDiarmid Park with a night out in Perth, hopes the Lithuanians are considering the Europa League job done and will underestimate the Saints in Thursday's return leg. "Maybe they do feel that it's over and they're already through to the next round. If that is their attitude we might catch them cold the way they did to us last week," says the midfielder. (Sun)
