CJ Egan-Riley admits he’s buzzing to ‘show what he can do’ at Parkhead after experiencing Champions League football last season.
The Hibs ace on-loan from Burnley starred in Pep Guardiola all-star side in a 0-0 draw with Sporting Lisbon a year ago this month. And the stopper was never fazed with the huge occasion at the Etihad as he pulled off a daring Cruyff turn inside his own box. That move earned approval from the City fans but sparked fury with goalkeeper Scott Carson who warned the then 19-year-old to “never do that again,” but Egan Riley insists its the type of player he is.
Egan-Riley also got a taste of Manchester’s big ground when he featured in a 2-0 EFL Cup loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Now he’s vowed to relish the challenge of going up against Ange Postecoglou’s juggernaut in Glasgow today.
