Do early signs show Celtic are getting Tierney at his best?published at 15:02 12 August

Amid a transfer window of mild distress within the Celtic fanbase, Kieran Tierney's display at Pittodrie on Sunday reminded supporters that their team has already recruited some serious talent this summer.
When the Scotland left-back re-signed from Arsenal, nobody doubted the calibre of player the club were bringing back. There were, however, concerns about the defender's fitness and match sharpness following injury-hit spells.
But after just 132 minutes of football back in his beloved green and white, Tierney looks every bit the player Celtic sold for £25m six years ago.
At Aberdeen on Sunday, the 28-year-old was at his explosive best to turn and burst to the byeline before providing fellow summer signing Benjamin Nygren to finish the opener.
That goal was one of three chances Tierney has created from left-back in just two Scottish Premiership appearances this term. He has also completed 30 passes in the final third.
Defensively, he has been part of the only backline in the league that is yet to concede a goal, while winning possession back for his team on nine occasions.
In terms of his numbers for this season, we are clearly dealing with a small sample size, but the early indications show Celtic have brought back the "elite player" Rodgers promised.
