Matt O’Riley raised his Celtic bat in style on Tuesday when he hit 100 appearances by scoring during the 3-0 win over St Mirren.
The Celtic fans have watched the 23-year-old transform into one of the best playmakers the club has seen in recent times and the best in the country.
Matt O’Riley showcased serious quality under Ange Postecoglou last season and was a key reason behind the Treble-winning side.
But there is no doubt that he has taken his game up a level this time around and it has resulted in the normal transfer interest in the Celtic star.
There is little worry about losing Matt O’Riley in January, but everyone knows what is coming when the summer transfer window re-opens.
That’s why it would be the ultimate wish of the Celtic fanbase to watch the Denmark star play out another 100 games at Parkhead.
Well, Stephen Welsh is acting as an agent for the Celtic fans by posting an interesting message on the midfielder’s Instagram.
Matt O’Riley 100 appearances for Celtic
Matt O’Riley posted how he was ‘proud’ to have reached the milestone of 100, but in the comments section, Stephen Welsh told him ‘Another tonne would do’ added with a winking face, with a tongue emoji.
Paulo Bernardo told him that it’s a ‘pleasure playing with you’, whilst Gustaf Lagerbielke added ‘100 games of excellence’.
Keeping Matt O’Riley at Celtic
The aim for Brendan Rodgers at Celtic is to maintain the dominance on the domestic stage, but most importantly, progress in Europe.
For that to happen, proven quality needs to be added via the transfer market.
But most importantly, the club needs to keep the best players and O’Riley is certainly one of them.
If Celtic see off the summer with O’Riley still at the club, then it would be a huge statement for Rodgers to try and take the team forward in the Champions League next season.
