Video: Matt O’Riley with Brilliant Finish

Matt O’Riley scored a wonderful opening goal for Celtic on Saturday afternoon against Rapid Vienna.

The Danish under 21 was starting his first game of pre-season for the bhoys, only taking nine minutes to get his goal scoring account opened for the season.

The Hoops have a massive few months ahead. It’s imperative Ange Postecoglou’s men get a solid pre-season under their belt.

The aim of the game is to get fitness levels where they need to be.

The Rapid Vienna friendly wasn’t a friendly at all at times. There’s been a real competitive edge to things.

Matt’s goal was cancelled out in the first half when Joe Hart made a massive mistake – allowing Rapid an easy goal.

The starting XI was pretty strong from Ange who named a side who could start many SPFL matches. The only issue at right back with Anthony Ralston and Josip Juranovic missing. Osaze Urhoghide called upon.
