Celtic are reported to be in contract talks with Matt O’Riley about extending his current deal.

Over the course of 18 months the midfielder has established himself as a key player in Celtic’s drive for success, playing a significant role in Sunday’s victory at Ibrox.

O’Riley is currently tied to Celtic until June 2026 but his profile is much changed from that of the 20-year-old that arrived from MK Dons in January 2022.

Last week in similar circumstances Liel Abada signed a new contract by adding 12 months onto the contract he had signed in July 2021.

Rewarding success with a significant pay rise while adding one year onto a contract seems a sensible way of doing business. There may be a get-out clause in the contract but Celtic could justifiably value O’Riley at 10 times the fee that they paid for him.

Having been developed through the Fulham Academy there is an extra premium on his value to English sides playing in Europe who need to have eight nationally trained players in their 25 man squad.

    Lol at the klan klowns on FF today 4 days later and they are still crying into their cornflakes.
    They are still blaming the refs,the VAR officials the pundits on TV and radio stations and journalists writing for newspapers,apparently and this is their own words they are using(Catholic bheasts Celtic supporters every last one of them)oh dear.
    Rumours have it now that the ONION BEARS are going to retaliate against the board and are putting into place walks,demonstrations and protests for the next home game,if the POUNDLAND reject catalogue model is still in charge.

    It has taken 4 days but silence has been broken by BARBIE,who has returned to social media to give his account of the game from Sunday,a player you didn’t even know was playing until Maeda body challenged him right off the ball,close to the end of the game with BARBIE Cuntwell screaming for a penalty.
