​Arsenal defender Tierney criticised for 'laziness' in Scotland defeat

Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney is receiving criticism for his display during Scotland's defeat to Denmark.

The Scots put in a battling display against the Danes, but were undone down the wings in the World Cup Qualifying clash.

Ex-Scottish star Kris Boyd singled out Tierney for criticism, per football.london.

He said: "It's an area that they have seen as a weakness and you have to say they have exploited it really, really well.

"I think it's lazy defending from Kieran Tierney, and it's not like him because he is usually a good defender.

"But maybe because he is in the three and he is tucked in a bit more.

"When you see the goal, he (Tierney) actually has a look at him (Wass) but I am not sure why he goes in the pitch, he runs inside and it's a fantastic finish."
