As they looked to see out the victory in the closing stages, Tierney was introduced with two minutes plus stoppages remaining.
When he came on, and in the moments following his introduction, the home fans could be heard singing 'There's only one Kieran Tierney' as he was given a rousing applause, making his way onto the pitch.

Tierney is due to return to Celtic this summer.
He has signed a pre-contract to rejoin his boyhood club.
The 27-year-old could yet play once more for Arsenal before the season's end, however, as they travel to face Southampton on the final day of the Premier League campaign next weekend.
Brendan Rodgers revealed last week that Tierney can't wait to come back to Glasgow: "I haven't spoken to him a lot of late," he said.
"We've exchanged messages and stuff, but I know his love of the club and excitement to come back here. So, yes, I'm sure he's champing at the bit to get back."
Tierney has played 19 times for Arsenal this term.
He has averaged 28 appearances in each of his post-Celtic seasons. The Parkhead club will have played 57 matches by the end of 2024/25, highlighting the need for stable Tierney cover to be drafted in, should Greg Taylor not renew his contract.
