Matt O’Riley Set to Break Scottish Transfer Record – Fabrizio Romano

MATT O’Riley has been on fire this season, taking his game to a whole new level under Brendan Rodgers.

He’s the top scorer in the SPFL, something that would shock many Celtic fans if they were told that at the end of last season, with just two to his name.

He’s also been in great form in the Champions League, setting up Kyogo brilliantly twice, once against Lazio and again against Atletico Madrid.

But it’s not just his goal contributions that have gone up, his all-round play is nothing short of sensational and he’s become a key player for Celtic.

So much so that he’s attracting the eyes of other clubs, but with him signing a new deal at Celtic, Fabrizio Romano says it will take a Scottish transfer record-breaking fee to take him away from Celtic.

That would make Matt O’Riley more expensive than Jota and Tierney, who both left Celtic for about £25 million.
