Robert Samuel "Rob" Kiernan (born 13 January 1991) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for Scottish Premiership club Rangers.
Kiernan has previously played for Watford and Wigan Athletic and has also spent time on loan at Kilmarnock, Yeovil Town, Bradford City, Wycombe Wanderers,Accrington Stanley, Burton Albion, Brentford, Southend United and Birmingham City. Kiernan, who was born in Hertfordshire, played for the Republic of Ireland at youth levels up to and including under-21.
Kiernan was born in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, and began his football career as a youngster with Watford. Watford sent two youth squads to the Milk Cup in Northern Ireland in the summer of 2008. Kiernan was moved from his natural position of central midfielder to play centre-half, to take advantage of his height and physical presence, and also captained the side. His performances drew praise from his then coach Mark Warburton.
Later that summer, Kiernan was called up by the Ireland under-19 team for a four-nation tournament, but he had to withdraw after tearing his right thigh muscle.
