Matt O'Riley catches Celtic gaffe by Neil Lennon as midfielder forces Parkhead hero into hasty backtrack

He has been a standout for Celtic so far on the pitch and Matt O'Riley wasn't willing to let anything slip by him off it - even former Parkhead boss Neil Lennon.

The Danish international was instrumental again as the Premiership leaders emerged from cold storage after the winter break to play a key part in the Scottish Cup rout of Highland League side Buckie Thistle.

O'Riley pulled the strings in midfield in the absence of captain Callum McGregor as the Hoops ran out 5-0 winners - but could have added to that total against the battling minnows had the offside flag not ruled out several other strikes.

It's these type of displays that have led to the likes of Girona and Inter Milan taking glances at O'Riley during the January transfer window - and Lennon joined his fan club before making a gaffe over the next fixture that Celtic will face.
