Chris Sutton has urged Matt O'Riley to stay at Celtic for one more season.
The Hoops hero delivered his instant reaction to the news that his former side had entered talks with Brighton & Hove Albion over a potential deal for the Denmark international.
The 23-year-old was impressive as he started Celtic's Scottish Premiership opener against a weakened Kilmarnock side. The match finished 4-0 to the champions.
Brendan Rodgers is looking to add new players to his first team rather than lose his star man.
And while Sutton admits Brighton are a great club in England's Premier League, he reckons one more year in Glasgow would do O'Riley the world of good.
He wrote on X: "With the greatest respect to Brighton who are a brilliantly run club I think Matt O’Riley should set his sights higher.
"I’d like to see him give it one more go in the Champions League with this current Celtic team. So unless it’s a big enough move stay one more season."

Meanwhile, Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi was denied a penalty despite huge appeals as he went down in the box against Kilmarnock.
The Japanese forward latched onto a smart lofted ball from Matt O'Riley - from a free-kick - before colliding with Robby McCrorie.
Kyogo had controlled the ball before McCrorie connected with the striker to leave him in a heap in the box. It did not appear McCrorie touched the ball before bumping into the forward.
However, no penalty was awarded, in the eventual 4-0 win, by referee Don Robertson and no VAR review was advised.
There had been suggestion of a possible offside on Kyogo in the build-up but former referee Bobby Madden has explained a screenshot of the offside would have been shown if that was the reason for no spot-kick being awarded.
