“I will forever be a Celt and I will forever support the club,” Matt O’Riley

Matt O’Riley this afternoon has posted an emotional message to the Celtic support on his Instagram account.

Now at Brighton, where he unfortunately suffered a bad injury after a thuggish tackle inside ten minutes of making his debut, the former Celt promised to pen a message to the Celtic supporters and here it is:

Matt had this to say to the Celtic Support..

This isn’t an easy message to write but I just wanted to express how grateful I am to have been able to represent this special football club.

I’ve been fortunate enough to be in an environment and team full of great people. All my teammates and the staff made it easy for me to settle in right from day one and feel part of the family.

The joy I have experienced when wearing the badge and playing in front of you guys is one like no other. 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.

When they say it’s a club like no other it truly is. You guys are one of a kind and it is a credit to all of you for providing such an amazing atmosphere week in week out.

Much love,
Matty
