Celtic have thwarted a bid by West Brom to hijack their £1.5million swoop for Matt O’Riley.
English Championship Baggies made an 11th hour bid to land the highly-rated MK Dons star. But Celtic had agreed a deal for the 21-year-old with the League One side.
And O’Riley has travelled north for a medical and the players’ representatives are expected in Glasgow on Thursday to finalise personal terms on a long-term deal.
