Kieran Tierney could not have hoped to open his account for the season in better style.
The left back gave us the lead against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday as he beat Darnell Furlong twice, before curling a right-footed strike into the top corner.
Afterwards, Tierney faced the media - and this is what he said:
on the importance of the result…
Yeah, 100 per cent. We want to pick up wins, we want to pick up points, we want to move up the table, and in the last few games we’ve done that.
on the reason behind our change in form…
It’s just consistent hard work. We’ve not changed anything from the last three games and we’ve been working hard every day, like we were in the dry spell as well, but now it’s coming together.
on playing in snowy conditions…
Yeah, it is what it is. I played in Scotland for my full career so I’m quite used to a bit of cold weather.
on his stunning opener…
The boys are calling it a cross! I’ll need to watch it back! Obviously I’m delighted with the goal, I don’t score many, but I need to see it again.
on whether we’ve built a good platform…
It’s progression. We’re not going to win every game from now until the end of the season, but hard work will get us there. Right now it’s all about picking up points and getting us higher up the table and catching the team in front of us. The next game is always the most important one.
