Virgil van Dijk feels Kieran Tierney should stay put at Celtic

Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk feels his former Celtic teammate Kieran Tierney should be in no rush to leave Glasgow following impressive progress in recent seasons. The 20-year-old reached another milestone earlier this week as he was awarded the Scotland armband in the 1-0 friendly loss to Van Dijk's Netherlands.

Aside from his international exploits, Tierney is also closing in on his 100th appearance for his boyhood club with whom he signed a fresh six-year deal last month. Speaking to reporters, Van Dijk was delighted by the progress of the young left-back, who made his debut when the Dutchman was still at Park Head.
