Benjamin Nygren’s ‘disrespect’ towards Celtic teammate Kieran Tierney called out

Former Celtic striker Frank McAvennie has criticized Benjamin Nygren for showing perceived disrespect toward teammate Kieran Tierney during Celtic's 1-0 victory over Kilmarnock on Sunday. Speaking on his podcast, McAvennie voiced frustration after Nygren reacted negatively and waved his arms following an errant pass from the left-back, unfavorably comparing the Swedish international's body language to Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes.

Nygren also missed a second-half penalty during the match, though Martin O'Neill's side ultimately secured the narrow win. While McAvennie stated such behavior would have provoked confrontation in the dressing room during his playing days, 67 Hail Hail questioned his harsh criticism, arguing that emotional reactions and high standards between teammates are commonplace on the pitch.
