# Spurs scout Celtic’s Tierney during Champions League defeat

Tottenham sent scouts to watch Celtic defender Kieran Tierney during their recent meeting with Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

The [Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-star-kieran-tierney-remains-11385051) report that the [Premier League](https://readpl.com/) side have stepped up their interest as the young Scotsman continues to impress at Celtic.

Brendan Rodgers’ men fell to a 3-0 defeat in Germany on Wednesday night thanks to goals from Thomas Muller, Joshua Kimmich and Mats Hummels.

Tierney himself has attracted plenty of interest in the past with both [Arsenal](https://readarsenal.com/) and Manchester United being linked with a move for the 20-year-old.

[Spurs](https://readtottenham.com/) have been keeping close tabs on the player for some time, who could be viewed as a potential successor to Danny Rose, who is being linked with moves away from [Tottenham](https://readtottenham.com/).

Tierney has risen to prominence during Rodgers’ time at the club, making the full-back position his own, with his development not going unnoticed by some of the [Premier League](https://readpl.com/)’s biggest sides.
