I think that we need a left sided central defender more than a 10. Boyata and Simanovic do not look comfortable on the left someone like Micheal Djiks who can play in a back three or as a four. Tall, strong and fast. In a three Tierney and Forest would push on and support Brown and Armstong in the middle with Sinclair Dembele and Griffiths up front or Macgregor or Rogic coming in for one of the above.

BR has always said a number 8 is his main priority.

Dijks was on loan in championship and didn't really stand out in games id seen.
Heard he was leaving Ajax though
Tierney could make that move with Izzy at lb if ever needed.

Crikey mate if that Academy produced another 3 or 4 of KT a would be delighted.

Jonace-I remember a wee player Celtic had one time I watched him as a laddie. I think his name was Johnstone. That's it I remember now. And so do 80,000 Real Madrid supporters at Alfredo De Stefano's testimonial. James Johnstone. James Connelly Johnstone in fact. We called him Jinky. He wasn't tall enough either. Away and lie doon. KT has the potential to be better than Danny McGrain and that's saying something and to be world class. Don't rule out people speaking about Pauli Maldini, Danny McGrain, Roberto Carlos and Kieran Tierney in years to come. ☘ï¸.
{Ed007's Note - Jimmy Johnstone was never played at CB though so what's his height got to do with anything? In fact you've lost me with this entire post....
Jonace said Tierney isn't tall enough to play CB after Kev T proposed he could in his post.}

Why are we even speaking about playing possibly one of the the best full backs I've seen at centre back? Apologies Jonace. Missed the start of the conversation! 😂ðŸ‘☘ï¸.
{Ed007's Note - I always find conversations about moving KT into midfield a bit strange too, as you say why play one of the best young full-backs in Europe out of position?}

Again I missed the OP cross but the bhoy is 5ft 10in, Puyol did alright at that height
But the follow up with too why move a talent that has to be top 5 young left backs around?

franco baresi 5ft 9 . him and maldini best partnership i've seen . so height s not everything but agree with everyone saying young kt should be played where he is . ots pk being versatile but every player has a position they excell at and the boy def best left back we've had in a very long time.

Agree with what your all saying, but did the op not say we COULD play him at cb IF we reverted to a back three for whatever reason.

JFP1888 . A little problem with your post Jimmy Johnstone was called wee Jimmy throughout his playing career. It was a long time dutring his retirement that fans and friends started calling him Jinky .
During that particular game the Spaniards called him " flying flea"
