The legendary Hoops striker is almost tired of talking transfers and really wants his old club to get a move on
Celtic's message to the London Stock Exchange said the next financial figures will exceed expectations.
Celtic simply have to produce some rabbits from hats. The manager is craving quality and the chance is there to go and add it for him. Trust me, the players want it, too. I know what it’s like. You get such a boost when quality arrives into the unit. If that is the case, they have got the Portuguese midfielder for almost half the initial asking price and that type of shrewd business work is what has put Celtic into this healthy financial position.
As I said last week, it seemed needless to me that the Irishman was faffing around Norwich City during the pre-season schedule when he really wanted to be in Glasgow. It just doesn’t seem Celtic’s way to pay over the odds and I get that, but there have to be times when you go that little bit beyond to secure a sure thing.
So, on that score, you can’t have it both ways. But Celtic fans need to be shown before this window closes that their club is going to match the ambitions they have and deliver some real quality into the building. There have been so many positives from pre-season and last week’s win over Kilmarnock, but it’ll only take O Riley to leave at the end of the window and, no matter who comes in, his quality and importance won’t be replaced immediately.
