Rangers fans are in stitches as a pre-season piece of footage involving £25m Arsenal full-back and ex-Celtic star Kieran Tierney tipping his old side for 10IAR has resurfaced.
The clip – taken from an Open Goal interview with the left-back last year – shows Tierney discussing 10IAR with Celtic fans Si Ferry, Paul Slane and Kevin Kyle.

Tierney – who has turned heads and impressed south of the border as of late – boasts that the Celtic squad is too good and insists that Celtic will get the title because of their “winning mentality”.
“Aye [I think they’ll do 10IAR],” said Tierney.
“Just the winning mentality they’ve got the now, everyone is so focused on it.
“And you can actually talk about this season, you cannae talk about it when you’ve still to win eight and nine.
“I just think they’re such a good team.”
Tierney, 23, was lambasted by a hurting Celtic support for leaving the club last season in a landmark deal which was worth £25m and stands as the biggest ever sale by a Scottish club [Sky Sports].
A childhood Celtic fan, Tierney’s performances for the Parkhead club had several supporters thinking that he’d never leave.
But like Moussa Dembele, Stuart Armstrong and Brendan Rodgers, they all jumped ship before the Celtic fan’s Holy Grail turned into personal hell.
Rangers fans have been lapping it up as Tierney’s over-confident comments come back to bite him and pretty much sum up the arrogance which has allowed the Gers to overtake their rivals:
I know hahaha! “What else is he gonnae say?” Maybe be a bit more reserved something like “it will be hard but Celtic should have the quality” no just outright “aye, the winning mentality. Such a good team” 🤣

Rangers fans have been lapping up the tears of their rivals as the club prepares to lift a first title in a decade this season.
Try and convince yourself otherwise all you want – but there’s only one place the title if ending up this season.
