Kieran Tierney faces an uphill battle to reclaim his place in the Arsenal team ahead of Oleksandr Zinchenko, but Scotland's famous 2-0 win over Spain on Tuesday night has offered a reminder that the pair can co-exist in the same side.
The defender was one of 14 senior Gunners players called up for international duty this month alongside the likes of Thomas Partey, Martin Odegaard, Emile Smith Rowe, Matt Turner, Granit Xhaka, Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trosssard, Jorginho and January signing Jakub Kiwior.
And after making just four substitute appearances since his last start in an Arsenal shirt - against Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth round back in January - it turned out to be a positive experience for Tierney as he played the full 90 minutes of Scotland's win over Cyprus before getting another 76 minutes under his belt against Spain.
