Scott Sinclair believes that Kieran Tierney will be chased by clubs throughout Europe is he maintains the level of performance he has shown for Celtic.

The teenager's performance was hailed as "brilliant" by Brendan Rodgers after yesterday's win over Hearts and Sinclair has been enthused about the maturity of the Scotland internationalist.

“He’s getting tons of experience playing every week and having that enjoyment playing and getting forward to show his quality," said Sinclair.

“Loads of clubs around Europe will be after him.

“I haven’t spoken to anyone down south about him, but he’s a guy who wants to learn and gives 100% in training. That’s great to see.”

And Sinclair was keen to echo the sentiments of the Parkhead players by insisting that he hopes Craig Gordon will turn his back on a move to Chelsea.

Sinclair himself started his career at Bristol Rovers before going to Chelsea after a season in Bristol's first-team.

He also experienced the frustration of going to Manchester City from Swansea without really making an impact so is well versed to offer both perspectives as Gordon weighs up a decision.

“He’s massive to us," said the 27-year-old who netted his 15th goal of the season with a brace against Hearts. "I’m sure the manager won’t want to let him go. There’s a few days left so we’ll just need to wait and see.”

“He’s old enough now and he’s played in the Premier League. I don’t think anything will get to him. In a few days everyone will know what is happening.

"Everyone’s experience is different. I’ve been to Chelsea and Man City. I started at Chelsea and then got to an age when I wanted to play and moved to Swansea.

“Then I moved to Man City and didn’t play as many games as I’d have wanted to do.

“Everyone is different and we all have choices and it’s to Craig to make the choice.”
