CELTIC star Kieran Tierney has dealt Premier League clubs a major blow by insisting his is committed to the Scottish champions.
The left-back has attracted interest from England’s top clubs including Manchester United and Tottenham.
Tierney, 20, put pen to paper on a lucrative six-year contract earlier in the season to make him one of the club’s highest earners.
And the boyhood Celtic fan insists he is more than happy to stay with Brendan Rodgers’ side but remains flattered by the interest shown in him.
Reported by the Mail, he said: “When big teams are looking at you, it’s flattering.
“It’s happened during most windows since I broke through. It’s good for me.
“It doesn’t bother me or distract me because I’m enjoying myself. I’m playing for Celtic, so I’m happy. I’m not in any rush at all.
“I had four years left on my last contract and, if I wanted to leave, I would have chosen to run that down. Instead, when the club offered me six I was happy to sign.
