The Danish youth international has been a shining light for the Hoops since his arrival in 2022.
And his old coach Peter Grant says it’s par for the course the champions are teeing-up a new deal for his former pupil. O’Riley’s outstanding work over 19 months since moving from MK Dons has put him in line for an extended and improved contract.
At one end, he set up Kyogo Furuhashi to score the winner against Rangers with an instinctive headed assist. At the other, O’Riley’s outstanding positional sense and defensive discipline saw him constantly snuff out attacks and protect his defence. “On the ball was never an issue, he has a wand of a left foot and the spell he had playing a lot of games at MK Dons before joining Celtic was brilliant for him. Even last year when Callum was out, people were saying he wasn’t scoring as many, but he was helping the team, ended up with many assists and was vital.
“I thought last Sunday against Rangers, what he did was brilliant and contributed immensely to Celtic winning. So many cut-outs at the edge of his own box. Great positional play as a midfielder. Not only did he intercept, his use of the ball was then impressive when he won it back. That stood out for me.
“As a midfield player, you do all aspects. Of course, systems and set-ups have changed. But midfield traits should stay the same in that, if you don’t have the ball, get behind it. If you are attacking, time runs forward and support. Matt has that balance.” “The attention and scrutiny you play under at Celtic is, apart from Manchester United, second to none and I keep telling him the adulation you get is very difficult to replicate.
