Matt O’Riley isn’t contemplating a Celtic exit amid claims the Hoops midfielder is being eyed by English Premier League pair Brighton and Brentford.

Reports south of the border suggested the Hoops midfielder was on the radar of the two top flight clubs but Record Sport understands the 22-year-old former Fulham graduate has no interested in leaving the Scottish Premiership champions any time soon after signing a new contract just last month to keep him at the club at least until 2027 after summer bids were rejected from Leeds United and Bologna.

O’Riley was signed by former boss Ange Postecoglou in his first season at the club for £1.5 million from MK Dons and that was described as an “absolute steal” by Scotland, Liverpool and Celtic legend Kenny Dalglish who hopes O’Riley sticks around for the long haul.

Dalglish, writing in his Sunday Post column, said: "I believe he cost in the region of £1.5 million from MK Dons, which is an absolute steal.
