Celtic boss Ronny Deila believes the media will continually link Kieran Tierney with a move to England as the defender continues his progress. Todd Bertuzzi Jersey . The 18-year-old produced an assured display when winning his first Scotland cap in a 1-0 victory over Denmark at Hampden on Tuesday.In the aftermath of his international debut, he was mentioned as a £5m target for Southampton, who have signed Victor Wanyama, Fraser Forster and Virgil van Dijk from the Hoops in the last three years. But Deila has laughed off the rumours insisting Celtic Park is the only place the young left-back should be looking at as he continues to develop his career.I can tell you one thing, that is not the last club you come up with, said Deila ahead of the Premiership clash with Hearts on Saturday.When you are playing for the Scotland national team at 18 years old and you play regularly for Celtic, of course the clubs will be after him. Kieran Tierney impressed on his Scotland debut against Denmark But he is going to stay here, that is the best thing for his development. Now, he just has to have the consistency, play all the time and be a very important player for us.I didnt get to see the first half at Hampden, I only saw the second but I got told he did well. I spoke to Gordon (Strachan, Scotland manager) and he was satisfied and I am not very surprised by that.He showed what we have seen at Celtic, he is ready at this level. He is a young kid, mentally strong, physically strong and has adapted unbelievably quickly.Why? He works really hard every day in training, he is a humble guy, respectful, keen to learn new things and very disciplined. I am so happy for him but at the same time he has a lot to improve. He knows that himself. Deila expects Aberdeen to maintain title pressure on Hoops Tierney joined skipper Scott Brown, goalkeeper Craig Gordon, utility player Charlie Mulgrew and striker Leigh Griffiths on duty with the senior Scotland squad.The club had 33 players on international duty at various levels, and Deila believes that is testament to the quality of the squad at the Scottish Premiership leaders.Deila said: It is very good and it makes me proud. And also they won both games and that is a good thing for Scottish football.We are Scottish and we want to be the best club and we also need the players in the national team. I think there was a statistic that said we had over 30 players in various national teams, you cant be disappointed in that. Leigh Griffiths is frustrated during Celtics 0-0 draw with Hearts It is a positive thing, it says that there is a lot of talent here.Celtic have drawn twice with Hearts in the league this season, while beating their opponents at Tynecastle in the League Cup, and Deila expects another tough encounter in the Sky Live clash.After hosting Hearts, Celtic visit Dundee on Tuesday night before facing Motherwell at Fir Park next week.Deila expects title challengers Aberdeen to win their two matches against Hamilton and Hearts before the split, but insists his side are up for the challenge. We can see the finishing line so it is going to be a good game tomorrow. We need to keep on winning football games, added the Norwegian.I think they will win every game and we will have to do the same. We have been very consistent and we have to keep on the same way.

Curtis Davies and Robert Koren secured the victory with goals inside 35 minutes of the fifth-round replay against the second-tier side. Brock Boeser Jersey . Calgary finished atop the CFL standings with a 14-4 record and earned the right to host the West Division final at McMahon Stadium on Nov. http://www.cheapcanucksjerseys.com/?tag=adidas-igor-larionov-jersey .com) - Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price is set to return Tuesday against Nashville after sitting out the past two games because of a minor upper body injury.AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - Josh Smith was booed when he went to the scorers table to check in, booed when he touched the ball and booed again when he went to the line to shoot free throws.Just over a month after Detroit waived the high-priced forward, Pistons fans gave him an unfriendly welcome when he returned to the Palace on Saturday night as a member of the Houston Rockets. Detroit beat Houston 114-101.Smith, who spent nine seasons with the Atlanta Hawks, was with the Pistons for less than a season and a half. He said the boos didnt bother him too much.That wasnt emotional to me, because I wasnt here long enough to feel any kind of way about it, Smith said. If that happened in Atlanta, it would be tougher for me, but it didnt affect me at all.Smith said before the game he had no ill will toward his former team, which went on a seven-game winning streak immediately after cutting him.I still have friends on this team, where we hung out and we had fun times and fun memories together, Smith said. I have no hard feelings. When they went on that winning streak, I knew the process and the hard work that we had to put in right after Labor Day weekend, all the way into training camp — it was finally kind of paying off.Detroit cut Smith loose in late December. The Pistons started playing well after his departure, and Smith caught on with one of the leagues best teams and is contriibuting. Jacob Markstrom Jersey. I kind of sat back and looked at it, and I saw it as being a blessing, Smith said. I had an opportunity now to play for a contender and really try to do something special this season.The Pistons won those first seven games after waiving Smith, but Brandon Jennings ruptured his left Achilles tendon last weekend, and Detroit began struggling again.Smith, meanwhile, has for the most part come off the bench for the Rockets. His scoring is down, but his shooting percentage has improved.Ive enjoyed Josh. Working with him has been great. In our system, we try to get him to do things that we think he does real well, Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. Have him drive, have him play-make, have him kick out, get defensive rebounds, push it down the floor.When the Pistons cut Smith, coach Stan Van Gundy wanted to adjust the offence, and he said it may not have been fair to Smith to reduce his role at this point in his career.Smith has looked and sounded comfortable with the idea of being a reserve, but Van Gundy said that doesnt mean a move like that would have helped the Pistons much.Hes in a totally different situation with a totally different team in a totally different role. The people around him are not even similar, Van Gundy said. How he would have played here probably wouldnt have changed a lot. Just, he would have been coming off the bench. ' ' '
