What a great first goal in the Hoops for the winger!
Matt O’Riley, who had recently committed his future to Celtic by signing a new contract, delivered the match-winning blow. In the 97th minute, a meticulously crafted ball from Greg Taylor found O’Riley, who capitalised on the opportunity to score his fifth goal of the season. He expertly navigated into the box unchecked and nailed a ground shot, securing a triumphant climax for Celtic.

As Ange Postecoglou used to say, we never stop! Celtic showed great character to win the match, especially after the late equaliser from the home side.
