In a heartfelt message, Matt O’Riley expressed his gratitude and love for Celtic FC, the club he called home for two and a half years. After completing his move to Brighton, the midfielder took to Instagram to share his emotional goodbye with the Hoops faithful.

“This isn’t an easy message to write, but I just wanted to express how grateful I am to have represented this special football club,” O’Riley wrote. “I’ve been fortunate enough to be part of an environment and team full of great people. Every single game was an absolute privilege to be a part of, and I’m thankful I got to be at the club during a successful period.”
