KIERAN TIERNEY revealed his homage to both Arsenal and Celtic – by the way of custom shin pads.
The full-back swapped Glasgow for London last summer in a record-breaking £25million transfer.

The full-back showed off his Arsenal-themed shin pads
And he has not lost his love for boyhood heroes Celtic by keeping a piece of the club with him when playing for the Gunners.
The pads were on display after he helped Arsenal to a vital 3-1 win over Chelsea on Boxing Day.
Tierney posted a picture to his Instagram story showing his personalised shin pads made by bespoke company PRO I.D LTD.
It featured two black shin pads; one with a Celtic badge and the number 63 below it and one with an Arsenal badge and the number three.
Tierney’s move down south received mixed responses from Celtic fans who questioned his passion for the club.
The 23-year-old recently admitted it broke his heart to read some comments from fans and revealed the word ‘Judas’ was painted near his home.
He said: “It was just sad the way it ended. People turning and all that.
“Some people make it out to be what it’s not and it’s not that at all.
“Weeks before when Arsenal had bid people were like that ‘you’re a rat if you go, you’re terrible, you’re never a Celtic fan.
“I’m like ‘this is breaking my heart reading this’ and as soon as this gets announced it’s going to blow up.
“And the worst thing I did when it got announced was go on Twitter. [There were] thousands of tweets, threats and all sorts.
“When I went home two days later after signing, there was spray paint on the walls, ‘Judas’ outside my bit.”
