Ange Postecoglou insists Matt O’Riley is the perfect fit for Parkhead as he revealed he’s been keeping tabs on the former MK Dons ace since the summer.
The 21-year-old was snapped up this week in a £1.5m deals but won’t be eligible to face Alloa today as he awaits clearance. The Hoops boss was thrilled to land the youngster and he is convinced the playmaker has the ability and the attitude to be a smash hit with Celts.
Postecoglou said: “He's a talented player and I had a good chat to the lad, so he will fit in really well. "From my perspective, once I knew it could be done then I was really keen.“Michael Nicolson (CEO) and the club concluded it in a couple of days, so although it felt like it came out of the blue it was one that was in the pipeline for a while.“Matt can play in different midfield positions and I like that area to be very fluid for us."I want players who can move about and Matt fits that perfectly."He can play in the deeper-lying role as he has a great passing range, but he also has a goal threat and can play further up."Matt is only 21.
He has really good attributes and will fit into the way we play."That can help us in different areas and he will be able to play in a couple of roles for us."I don't just sign players, I sign people."That is important and I had a great conversation with him."He is a very mature young man and credit to his parents for his upbringing."He knows what he wants to do and what his priorities are right now."Matt has a burning desire to reach the very top and that's great.
