And Tierney, 24, showed a picture of a dog on his shin pads after the draw.
It’s unclear who the mystery pet is or belongs to and Tierney has never been pictured or seen with it.
The Scottish left-back was part of a dogged team performance on Friday night that kept England well and truly on their leash.
Humble Tierney is considered a future Arsenal captain and is set to sign a new five-year deal once the Euros are over.
Last year he was seen carrying his kit for an FA Cup tie in a Tesco bag for life.
And he followed up a few months later by turning up for a Europa League game in freezing temperatures wearing just a T-shirt.

Kane, 27, endured a horror show against Scotland and was hooked off with 15 minutes to play in their drab 0-0 draw.
In his opening two matches, England’s talisman had three shots on goal with none on target.
He has also managed just six touches in the opposition box.
And outspoken Keane believes the uncertainty surrounding his club future must be weighing heavy on his shoulders.
Speaking on ITV after the game, Keane said: “Before the competition, there was all the talk of him might be leaving Spurs and maybe he’s been distracted by that because that can be an energy zapper.
“If you thinking you’re moving clubs or if you’re in talks with other clubs, that’s not helpful.
“He doesn’t look up to speed.
“He’s on his heels all the time and if England really want to compete in this competition, you need your star men to perform.

“We’ve seen [Romelu] Lukaku turn up, [Kevin] De Bruyne, [Cristiano] Ronaldo, they need Kane at his best.
“I’m glad Gareth took him off – there’s talk about him being undroppable, he’s the main man, if he’s not performing, get him off. Rashford gave them a little bit more energy, but still not enough.”
Fellow pundit Graeme Souness was in agreement with Keane adding he ‘needs to wake himself up.’
Souness said: “This is a guy who’s hoping to get a big move this summer, he needs to wake himself up.
“He came off in the first game, is he carrying something? Because he looks a shadow of himself.

“He’s England’s one player who has proven at this level to get goals on a regular basis and if that’s not happening in this competition – you’re not going very far.
“Without Harry Kane – football isn’t coming home with that team, I can tell you, not the way they’re playing.”
Kane has been linked with a £150million move to Manchester City and Chelsea but refused to get dragged into speculation until after the tournament.

Scotland battled with the type of bravery that Gibson’s iconic 1995 character William Wallace would have been proud of.
Channel 5 aired the movie, which follows the story of a Scottish rebel who sets out to battle King Edward I of England, during the football derby.
And Ozil tweeted: “William Wallace’s soul all over Wembley tonight…”
As Scotland battled resiliently to earn a draw, England would have felt fortunate to escape defeat to their underdog rivals.
Skipper Harry Kane was replaced by Marcus Rashford after 74 minutes and was heavily criticised by former Scottish international Graeme Souness.
Souness said on ITV:  “The centre-backs had an easy night against him.
“Harry Kane looks a shadow of the player we know he is. In two games, he looks leggy, lacking enthusiasm.”
Souness did at least defend Kane, believing the midfield behind him of Kalvin Phillips, Declan Rice and Mason Mount are also at fault.

He added: “A centre-forward is 90 per cent relying on the passes he’s getting and he’s not getting a great deal from that midfield.
“I don’t care what anyone says, that ain’t working.”
England go into their final group stage game against Czech Republic on Tuesday needing a win to top the table.

Scotland are bottom of the group only by goal difference and have it all to play for against Croatia, who are also on one point.
Captain Kane praised Scotland for their stern performance, as he looked ahead to the crunch match with Czech Republic.

He said: “Credit to Scotland. It wasn’t our best performance but we dust ourselves down and look forward to the next game. 
“It was a tough game, Scotland defended really well, made great blocks at the right times – that’s football. No game is going to be easy. 
“We have a big game against the Czechs in a few days, obviously we want to finish top.
“We’re one step closer to qualifying and that’s what we want to do at the moment.”

The Three Lions lacked intensity as they laboured to a goalless stalemate at Wembley.
And home fans BOOED at the final whistle as England delayed their knockout confirmation until the final group game against Czech Republic on Tuesday.
Supporters were shocked when Foden, one of the team’s few bright sparks, was hauled off in the 63rd minute for Jack Grealish.
And former Three Lions striker Wright laid into Southgate’s decision at the final whistle before also questioning the decision to leave Jadon Sancho on the bench.
Branding England’s overall performance a disaster, Wright told ITV: “There’s no way Foden should be leaving the pitch today.
“You’ve got Sancho on the bench – 15 goals and 20 assists a season – and he doesn’t even get on.
“We need to create… I’m embarrassed for us today.”
Meanwhile, England captain Kane, hauled off with 15 minutes left, believes his side need to keep their heads up and bounce back well against the Czechs.

Kane said: “Credit to Scotland, they created a few chances themselves.
“It wasn’t our best performance but we dust ourselves down and look forward to the next game.
“[Surprised to be subbed?] No, it’s part of the game. The manager will make decisions best for the team.

“Sometimes you just have to take it for what it is. We have another big game in a few days.
“It was a tough game. Scotland defended really well, made great blocks at the right time.
“That’s football. No game is going to be easy. We have a big game against the Czechs in a few days.
“Obviously we want to finish top. We’re one step closer to qualifying and that’s what we want to do at the moment.”
