Matt O'Riley Celtic transfer interest heightens as he earns English rave review and big money tip

Matt O'Riley is being tracked by a number of clubs - and the Celtic midfielder is drawing mixed reviews.

Former Scotland international Leanne Crichton revealed on Go Radio that she had spoke with a scout about the Parkhead playmaker Ange Postecoglou signed in January from MK Dons. They weren't left overly impressed by him but she's told them to have a rethink on someone Celtic are warding off Premier League interest in.

She said: "I spoke to someone the other week and they were like ‘nah he’s not as good as he looks’. It was a scout and we had this debate about him and I could not believe someone had that opinion of him from what I’ve seen in Scotland he’s been brilliant, outstanding in every game he plays. The games he didn’t start he’s a noticeable absentee. To me there’s no surprise teams are watching him. I said to him (the scout), ‘listen, you’ve obviously not seen enough of him’.”
