Celtic’s 21-year-old January signing Matt O’Riley has hit the ground running at the Hoops and is already making an impact on the attacking front.

It was a splendid all-round performance from the midfielder as he put his stamp on a Celtic side growing in quality. While his side were under the cosh for periods in the second half, O’Riley continued to look composed and comfortable on the ball as Celtic edged out a crucial win at Pittodrie.
