Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton believes Matt O'Riley is 'the outstanding player' in Scotland - but do the numbers back this up?
The Denmark youth international was awarded with the league's player of the month award for September earlier in the week. On this evidence, he may well be in line to scoop the individual end-of-season prizes.
Eight goals and 16 assists from midfield in 72 Celtic games prior to the start of this season highlight that, but Brendan Rodgers demanded more in the summer.O'Riley has responded with six in 12 matches this term, the most recent of which was a stunning first-time volley past Zander Clark to set Celtic on their way to restoring their seven-point lead at the Premiership summit.
However, his work out of possession also caught the eye, making two tackles and winning possession 11 times in a phenomenal all-round display from the midfielder, whose ceiling continues to rise at the age of just 22.
