Almost certain to become the highest capped Scotland player of all time. I'd be surprised I'd Tierney got near 100 caps. He's averaging five a year just now, due to us not qualifying for any tournaments. Not sure if Nations League games will increase that any, but a 15 year career at his current rate sees him at 75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I'd be surprised I'd Tierney got near 100 caps. He's averaging five a year just now, due to us not qualifying for any tournaments. Not sure if Nations League games will increase that any, but a 15 year career at his current rate sees him at 75 A 'normal' season for Scotland sees us play about 7-10 games so over 10-15 years, injury-dependent, and assuming he remains a first pick, he could make it.Darren Fletcher has never been part of a tournament squad and he'd be on about 110 caps by now if he hadn't been stricken with UC.

No_Problemo Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Nah, Robertson lacks the steel of Tierney.Armstrong isn't captain material I'd say Berra or Fletcher as captain, or possibly McGinn, and Tierney as deputy. How does Robertson lack the steel of Tierney? He has stepped up from Queens Park to Liverpool showing drive, ambition and ability. He certainly doesn’t shirk out of tackles and is ridiculously hard working. At the moment Tierney is playing within his comfort zone at Celtic. If you were picking a Scottish player as an example to the rest at the moment it would be Robertson by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 How does Robertson lack the steel of Tierney? I think what he's trying to say is that Robertson seems like a very nice young man and the Scotland captain should have the social skills of Graeme Souness.

Gordopolis Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Agree with everything you've said about Robertson tbh. He's stellar at the moment.Tierney just has an extra edge about him, seems a lot more vocal and carries himself as if he's a 30 year old veteran. Oozes confidence that imo must be inspirational to those he plays with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 This "extra edge" fluff is just a desperate attempt at finding something Tierney is better than Robertson at to Tey and justify the opinion Tierney should be undisputed first choice there.

Virtual Insanity Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 He seems like more of a diving, cheating moaning p***k than Robertson. Which apparently translates as 'edge'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oozes confidence that imo must be inspirational to those he plays with. Tierney is an excellent player, and I’m confident that he could step up and play at a higher level. But for me, as long as he’s at Celtic & playing against diddy opposition nearly every week, Robertson will always be held in higher regard. ETA: As for captain, I don’t think there’s any obvious candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s tremendous and needs to play week in week out at a higher level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Tierney will be short of offers from down south. And with Brendan being linked with the managers job at other clubs, this might also sway any decision Tierney has to make.

So true and the reason if Tierney wants to become a top player he needs to leave Celtic asap. He gets tested about five times a season, he needs to be somewhere he'll get that every week.

That's all well playing against dross every top team he's played he has been roasted.
