And the defender claims he would have signed a longer deal than the new six-year one he penned on Monday had it been offered.

The 20-year-old, one of the hottest prospects in British football, committed himself to Celtic until 2023 when he signed ahead of their Champions League clash with Bayern Munich.

And Tierney would love to follow in the footsteps of club legends such as Billy McNeill and Paul McStay by spending his entire playing career at his boyhood heroes.

Asked if there was a possibility he would be a one-club man, Tierney said: “There is every chance, I hope. I have been here 13 years already and that is a long time.

“We will see what happens. I hope I can stay here as long as I can, and keep playing.

“I am in no rush to leave, everybody can see that from signing a long-term deal.
