A Taylored Tierney One of the closed-season topics most commonly referenced by Alan and myself was the potential for material shifts in how Celtic play as part of trying to optimize for the return of Kieran Tierney.

What are some of the potential tactical tweaks with Kieran Tierney's return versus during the Greg Taylor era?

Sunday's game versus St. Mirren may have offered some clues, but what could it mean for Daizen Maeda's effectiveness?
