Celtic star Matt O'Riley 'watched' by Newcastle scouts as he netted for Denmark U-21s in play-off

Celtic star Matt O'Riley was watched by Newcastle United scouts during Denmark's Under-21 clash with Croatia, according to a report.

The 21-year-old has been a standout for the Hoops since his £1.5million arrival from MK Dons in January. He's established himself as a key man in Ange Postecoglou's squad and continues to go from strength to strength.

A host of clubs both south of the border and in Europe have been monitoring the midfielder - who confirmed the Magpies and Leicester were among them. Manchester United also got credited with an interest during the summer window. But the Scottish Sun say that scouts from mega-rich Newcastle saw the Celtic ace open the scoring in a 2-1 win in the Euros U-21s play-offs, before a painful shootout loss.
