The defender has moved to Spain and has held his first press conference since the switch.
Kieran Tierney has told Real Sociedad fans and Spanish media to just call him by his simple nickname as he sat down for his first press conference.
The Celtic hero has moved to La Liga on a season-long loan deal from Arsenal after finding himself on the fringes of Mikel Arteta's plans. His first day at the Basque club was a rainy open training session, where he met his new teammates and took selfies with supporters ahead of this weekend's match with Granada, and now has had his official unveiling.
Tierney sat down in front of a small pool of reporters, with his live-streamed presser translated, with the defender not yet able to speak in native tongue. But when asked by one reporter "how do you say your name", the Scotland international responded with a grin. He replied: "You can pronounce it Kieran Tierney, but for short, you can call me KT."
Granada are up first for Tierney but his eyes will also be on this week's Champions League draw. Real Sociedad are in the group stage phase after a fourth-place La Liga finish in season 22/23.
