The midfielder is in demand this summer despite being left out of the Danish squad heading to Germany.
Former Celtic star and Denmark assistant Morten Wieghorst has claimed Parkhead insiders fear they won't be able to keep Matt O'Riley in Glasgow next season.
Danish No.2 Wieghorst was at the Hydro awards ceremony to present O'Riley with his Celtic gongs – having spent almost seven years as a player in Glasgow's east end. And put on the spot about the decision to attend BEFORE leaving O'Riley out of the squad by Tipsbladet, he admitted he held talks with Hjulmand over attempting to dodge the ceremony before opting to attend.
"I was invited over and there was a Danish connection. I have spent six and a half years at the club. It was a huge event with 12,500 fans and where Matt almost cleared the table." "It was a private thing and it's in the past for me. I was not there in the form of being part of the national coaching team. That's not how it was presented up there either. But I enjoyed it and Celtic is a big part of my life and my past."
