All eyes are on the Celtic development squad after Kieran Tierney’s rise through the ranks at Celtic, and Scott Brown believes Aidan Nesbitt is the next man up.
The 18-year-old striker has only made one first team appearance – a four minute cameo against Raith Rovers earlier this year – but Brown has seen enough to be impressed by the young Scot.
Speaking at a Q&A event hosted by the Celtic View, the Celtic captain tipped Aidan Nesbitt to be the next youth player to follow in Kieran Tierney’s steps.
Scott Brown: @aidannesbitt1. He's got the right attitude, plays the No. 10 role really well and has been training with the 1st team recently

Nesbitt and Tierney have played together for many years already and won the Scott Youth Cup earlier this year together. Since then, Tierney has pushed on to become the first-team starter at left-back over Emilio Izaguirre.
However, Nesbitt has not had the chance yet to showcase his talents in the first-team but given his success in the development squad and UEFA Youth League for Celtic, a call-up to the senior team won’t be too far away.
You can catch the Celtic development squad in action tonight in the Premier League International Cup when they take on Chelsea. The game will be broadcast live on ChelseaTV, with kick-off at 7.05pm.
