Ange Postecoglou - now with Tottenham - landed the midfielder from MK Dons and he's been an impressive recruit ever since his arrival in Scotland. The Hoops turned down a £10million bid from Leeds United.
Peter Grant has outlined the benefits for Matt O'Riley at Celtic as he urged the Hoops to make him feel like the 'king of the castle'.
This season he's already netted twice and provided two assists in five outings as he gets ready to once again star on the big Champions League stage following the international break. The Parkhead side will come up against Feyenoord, Lazio and Atletico Madrid in their section and after handing the likes of Kyogo Furuhashi, Callum McGregor, Daizen Maeda and Liel Abada fresh long-term deals, the midfielder is one who they are looking to tie down as well as fellow midfielder Reo Hatate.
He told the Daily Record: “It’s always massive to keep your best players and the way to do it is by bringing good players in to play alongside them. “We know financially, other clubs can pay more down in England or elsewhere. We understand all of these things. People always want your best players, so to keep them, get good ones alongside them and be successful. They may well still want to go and that’s fine.
