“The Premier Talent at Celtic this Season and Scotland’s Finest: Matt O’Riley’s Remarkable Transformation into an Outstanding Player”
Last season, the 23-year-old put in standout performances as Celtic won the Triple Crown under Ange Postecoglou. However, his performances were not at the level he is now since he has undoubtedly advanced under Brendan Rodgers.

As Chris Sutton told Sky Sports Football (02/01/24 at 6:55 pm), Matt O’Riley scarcely mishandled a pass during the recent triumph against St Mirren. And how the £1.5 million acquisition from MK Dons was a “absolute steal.”
Celtic are rumored to need to bolster their team with experienced talent during the January transfer window. Someone like Matt O’Riley is demonstrating that this is not always the case, and that those unknown gems are still out there.
Expect the Denmark international to be up there when the season’s awards are handed out because he has been sensational. He has 10 goals and seven assists in 21 Scottish Premiership games for the Bhoys, who are currently top of the table.
“He seems to be an absolute bargain from MK Dons.”
“I can’t remember O’Riley, other than that cross, misplacing a pass. His passing has been purposeful and on point,” said Sutton.
The future of Matt O’Riley
Celtic fans will be relieved to learn that O’Riley only recently signed a new contract with the club, so there is no reason to panic. This protects the club financially, but it does not stop interested parties from knocking on the door.
There is no chance he will depart in January; the forthcoming summer transfer season is a another story entirely.
However, the player is still committed to a long-term contract. Plus, he is not saying anything that worries fans, and another 100 performances are likely.
