You have to say that Filip Benkovic looks as though he has added some stability to Celtic’s backline since arriving at the club. For a young guy I think he looks composed at the back and I thought he was excellent throughout the game against Rosenborg. It is obviously early days yet - the guy has only played twice for the club - but the indications are that he will make his mark for the club this season. The addition of Benkovic might have added to Boyata being a little more settled but, certainly, Celtic’s backline is looking fairly solid. once again Kieran Tierney excelled too against Rosenborg. I don’t know what else you can say about Tierney. His attitude and application are spot-on and he just seems to take up a level all the time. We all know that there he is a player who will always attract interest from elsewhere and that won’t go away given the level of his performances. But I think you can see by the way he has started the season that there is no question his head has been turned by anything that went on over the course of this summer. He is getting better all the time and he is at the right club to keep on developing.
