Celtic duo Anthony Ralston and Kieran Tierney played important roles in Scotland’s 1-0 win over Greece in the Nations League Group A play-off first leg.
Ralston started the match at right-back and delivered a solid performance, helping Scotland secure a clean sheet. He showed his usual energy and defensive discipline, keeping the Greek attackers at bay, before being substituted in the 89th minute for Ryan Porteous.
Tierney, who is set to return to Celtic this summer after signing a four-year pre-contract agreement, came on as a substitute in the 76th minute, replacing Kenny McLean. He was deployed as a left winger and added another dimension to Scotland’s play with his pace and attacking intent.
The win puts Scotland in a strong position ahead of the return leg at Hampden Park on Sunday. Both Ralston and Tierney are expected to play key roles once again as Scotland aims to finish the job and secure their place in the top tier of the Nations League.
Celtic fans will be keeping a close eye on both players, with Ralston continuing to prove his worth on the international stage and Tierney preparing for his highly anticipated return to Parkhead. Tierney’s return to Celtic has been highly anticipated by supporters, who are eager to see him revive his career in Glasgow after his time in the Premier League.
The return leg at Hampden Park promises to be an exciting encounter, with Scotland looking to build on their advantage and secure a spot in the top tier of the Nations League.
