Watched 15 mins worth of YouTube highlights so I’m now clearly an expert.

Looks like he we want him to play the Hartel role in this Hurzeler system. Finds space in good areas and had some great attacking outputs last year, albeit in a terrible league (however he had a good return in the CL too which is promising).

Can certainly see why we are after him

FWIW . The Mail have also confirmed it.

Brighton ask Celtic how much they want for O'Riley

Brighton have opened negotiations with Celtic over a fee for midfielder Matt O'Riley.

Whether it’s him or someone else I’m pleased we seem to recognise the need for a first team ready Gross replacement.

Played for England youth teams, born in London and lives in England (or Glasgow) but his mum is Danish.
Would be another 6 ft 2 midfielder if he joins. Wieffer is also 6 2""

I like having more physicality, particularly against the McGinn’s and Joel Linton’s of this world, with Baleba as well, we won’t be an easy pushover.

Matts Weiffer?
Mats Hummels?
Mat O'Riley?

They're certainly going to take the gloss off of our midfield

Of course, we're never going to go down the lumping it up to the big man up front ("hoofball"), but I'm convinced now that Hurzeler will soon have us lumping it up to the big CMs storming into the eighteen yard box (obviously not hoofball!)!

Bring it on - no more fannying around at the back!

According to Scottish Sun we are willing to break Scottish transfer record for O'Riley...Tierney and Jota both went for 25m. Would be a good fit imo but Chris Sutton thinks he should aim higher!

The Daily Record is a bit more behind !

Brighton and Southampton not near Celtic's Matt O'Riley valuation as talks go on

The EPL duo are amongst a host of clubs keen to land Brendan Rodgers' star man this summer

Wonder if a Buonanotte loan is part of the negotiation?

So Southampton are chasing O’Riley and Buonanotte but could end up with neither.

Fingers crossed!
