Celtic defender Kieran Tierney has signed a new four-year deal with the Scottish champions.

The 18-year-old left-back made his debut as a substitute against Dundee in April with his third appearance coming on the opening day of the season against Ross County, where the league flag was unfurled.

Tierney, a Celtic youth academy graduate said: "I'm delighted. I have been here 11 years already so to get a good contract for another few years at least is fantastic, and I'm happy to commit my future to the club I love.

"Near the end of the season I played two games and then starting on flag day in front of a big crowd was a dream.

"If you had told me at this point last season that I would be starting on the next flag day, I would have laughed at you.

"But now that's it actually happened, I'm hungry for more games, so I will keep working hard as always."
