Report: Celtic’s Kieran Tierney major worry for Old Firm clash after suffering calf knock

According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney could miss next weekend’s Scottish Premiership clash with Rangers after suffering a calf knock.

The 21-year-old withdrew from the Euros 2020 qualifiers against Kazakhstan as a result and is now set to miss weekend’s game against San Marino.

Tierney missed two-and-a-half months of action earlier in the campaign for Celtic due to a pelvic problem, and while playing on a plastic pitch against the Kazakhs wasn’t advisable, he truly missed the game because of another injury.

The in-demand star is set to return to Paradise Park in order to start receiving immediate treatment from the Hoops’ medical staff ahead of next week’s game against bitter rivals Rangers.
