Matt O'Riley seeks Celtic pinnacle as midfielder says he can reach the top while in Glasgow

Matt O'Riley has grand designs to star on the biggest stage in football – and he’s convinced Celtic can be his ticket to the top.

The playmaker has been a smash hit since his arrival from MK Dons in January and punters reckon it’s not just Callum McGregor who should be wearing a mask these days.

Gaffer Ange Postecoglou snapping up the midfielder for just £1.5million is looking more like daylight robbery by the week as the 21-year-old has hit the ground running.

O’Riley – who grabbed his first goal for the club in Wednesday’s battling 3-2 win at Aberdeen – has been tipped for big things since coming through as a kid at Fulham and the Hoops ace hasn’t hidden his lofty ambitions.

But he’s sure he can achieve them with Celts as the Parkhead men target silver success at home and in Europe.

O’Riley said: “You have to aim big and I’m not going to settle for a certain level, I want to reach the very top.

O’Riley caught the eye before the trip to Pittodrie but admitted he had been desperate to open his account.
