Matt O'Riley looks likely to leave Celtic this summer, but can Paulo Bernardo be the man to fill the void in their midfield?If it was simply down to physical appearance, then Paulo Bernardo would clearly be the perfect replacement for Matt O’Riley.
The question is, do they reinvest a huge chunk of that money in bringing in a tried and tested replacement, or is Bernardo that man? His stunning strike against Celtic’s city rivals in the New Year fixture though wasn’t the only time he proved his chops as a big-game player though, and although he had rather been shunted back into a supporting role by the end of the season, he came up with a huge moment off the bench in the Scottish Cup final.
O’Riley though bagged just four goals in the previous campaign, so does Bernardo have it in him to take a similar leap next term, and become a more consistent source of goals and assists as he starts matches more consistently? The evidence would suggest he may just be able to. What is also encouraging is that Bernardo looked comfortable at Champions League level, putting in a particularly impressive performance in the 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid at Celtic Park when he replaced Hatate in the opening minutes after the Japanese picked up a knock.
