There are still four games remaining in the Scottish Premiership, and Celtic is comfortably leading the pack. This is not the end of the season yet. especially since Rangers awaits in the Scottish Cup Final.
With four games remaining against Hearts, Rangers, Kilmarnock, and St Mirren, just four victories will guarantee that the Scottish Premiership trophy stays in the Parkhead boardroom.
Although the title hasn’t been decided upon yet, there has been some discussion about the potential recipient of the Celtic’s Player of the Year award.
It has been difficult for players to find consistency this season due to injuries, but Jim Duffy is without a doubt the best player for the Celtics.
Duffy praises Celtic as a “standout” for the season’s finale honor.
Matt O’Riley has been Brendan Rodgers’ standout player this season, according to the former Greenock manager.
Even though Duffy acknowledges his lack of consistency, O’Riley is the player who deserves credit for his efforts on behalf of Celtic this year.
Duffy stated [Superscoreboard], “He’s an aesthetically pleasing player.” Instead of running around like a headless chicken and careering into tackles, he glides across the game.
“He’s a player with a certain air of sophistication.” He has amazing awareness, beautiful balance, a creative spark, and a controlled appearance. He therefore has a ton of skill in his game.
The problem is that, looking at the previous campaign, for example, you could have considered four or five Celtic players to be contenders for player of the year.
Although O’Riley has been Celtic’s best player, there have been injuries and inconsistencies.

O’Riley has become one of Celtic’s greatest goal threats thanks to goals in the Champions League and against Rangers. It is also indisputable that O’Riley has played a key role in keeping Celtic in the hunt for trophies during a season where injuries and inconsistent play threatened Celtic’s dominance of Scottish football.
