Former Celtic star Packie Bonner believes Brendan Rodgers deserves heady praise for helping Matt O'Riley storm to the top of the Scottish Premiership scoring charts.

The midfielder only managed four goals in 50 games last season but is already up to six as he continues to thrive under the tutelage of the returning Irishman.

And Bonner believes O'Riley is shining by dropping deeper than he did under Ange Postecoglou. The subtle Celtic tweak inserted by Rodgers is allowing the Denmark international to time his runs into the box with devastating effect.

His stunning finish in the win against Hearts came from a burst from deep before Luis Palma expertly found him. And Bonner is loving what he is seeing from O'Riley who continues to build upon his burgeoning reputation.
