What a season Matt O’Riley is having for Celtic as he continues to reach new heights by the week.
There aren’t many things he can’t do. From his link-up play with Kyogo Furuhashi in the Champions League, his stunning long-range goals, or his darting runs and immaculate headers like he is John Hartson in his prime.
“He has probably been Celtic’s best player this season.”
Brendan Rodgers and Matt O’Riley
From Steven Gerrard to James Maddison. Celtic’s man in the dugout has worked with some top, top midfield players during his time in management.
So, he understands how to work with them, develop them and take their game to even higher heights.
And he is doing just that with O’Riley because he is now more involved, mature and technically efficient under Rodgers.
Whilst the Denmark international deserves credit for that progression, Rodgers also deserves his flowers for improving him because, as of this moment, there are no signs of stopping.
