The former Celtic star has made the move to La Liga on a season-long loan from Arsenal as he looks to nail down consistent minutes after falling down the pecking order in North London.
Kieran Tierney has started life as a Real Sociedad player by sending a nine word online message to his new support.
His switch to Spain will also hand the Scotland international the chance to play in the Champions League this season as well as get those crutial games in the legs for both the player himself and on the international scene for Steve Clarke with big games on the horizon for both club and country. The transfer saga has been a long-running one with Brendan Rodgers and the Hoops at one point sensationally linked with the full-back - but it is Sociedad who have won the race to add him to their ranks for the upcoming campaign that has started with three draws in the league. Writing on his social media after sharing pictures in his new kit, he wrote: "Hello blue, white family. So happy to be here.
