Former Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney has revealed his excitement over up-and-coming full-back Adam Montgomery.

Speaking to Sun Sport, Tierney has heard good things about the youngster from the likes of John Kennedy and Greg Taylor and is excited to see what the future holds for Montgomery.

“I saw that John Kennedy was talking about Adam Montgomery, and I’ve heard a lot of good things about him. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see his debut. But I know from speaking to Kendo and Greg Taylor at Celtic that he’s a good talent and a decent boy too. I wish him all the best.

“It’s always great to see someone come through the Celtic academy. It was special for me to come through the ranks to the first team. Now, Adam’s got a chance of progressing, and I’d love to see him get more games and push for a place.

“All I’d advise him to do is enjoy everything. From what I’ve heard, he’s a good enough player and a lad with the right attitude. It’s really important when you’re going into the first team environment that you get on with everyone, and you enjoy your work.

“I’m sure all the boys at Celtic will be looking after young Adam. What I swore by as a young boy was working really hard. That’s all you can do. And don’t leave yourself with any regrets on that side of things.”

The 18-year old made a late breakthrough in the side towards the back end of last season, making his first start for the club in the last home game of the season against St Johnstone.

Montgomery made a good impression on the Celtic fans, who expressed their delight at his performance and are looking forward to seeing what he can do in the future.

Greg Taylor is currently the first choice left-back going into next season, but with a good pre-season, there is a chance that he could be set for more appearances going into next season.

There aren’t many better endorsements than Kieran Tierney, who came through at a similar age to Montgomery.
