Hat-trick of awards for Manx-born Celtic star

Kieran Tierney has been named the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year for the third year in a row.

The 20-year-old Manx-born left-back becomes the first player to do so.

It's been a great few days for Tierney, after Celtic thrashed Rangers 5-0 in the Old Firm derby at the weekend to seal a seventh consecutive Scottish Premiership title.

He set up Odsonne Edouard's 14th-minute opener.

Tierney has made 30 appearances in the league for the Hoops this season, scoring three goals and setting up a further seven.
