Miller: Scotland need Tierney to leave Arsenal

Former Rangers striker Kenny Miller is urging Kieran Tierney to leave Arsenal.

The Scotland fullback has been linked with Newcastle and a return to former club Celtic this summer.

Miller told BBC Sport: “I think he probably needs to now. When he plays, he's a world class left-back. To play regular football, he probably needs to step away from Arsenal.

“There will be lots and lots of teams that will take it. He'll have loads of potential suitors. If he moves, he'll have a number of options. If he's not going to be getting a game, he's too good to sitting as part of a squad.

“It doesn't seem to affect his performances at an international level. When you're playing week in, week out, there's maybe just a different edge to your game. I think there's potentially more in him from what we've seen.

“He's one of our best players. A move to Newcastle with everything that's going on at that place at the moment would be a really big step. Champions League football as well, so he's not going to be stepping away from that level."
