    Looks a player and good to hear the reports from journalists that watch him it’s a good deal.

    Fingers crossed we get this one done and that will be our midfield options sorted McGregor, Ideguchi, Bitton, Rogic, Turnbull, Hatate and O’Riley gives us good depth.

    Being greasy but one more would be cracking along with a couple of precontracts.

    You know we’re doing well when you start to worry how our midfield are all going to get game time and enough to keep them happy at that.



    Were assembling some team here.

    Can play anywhere in the midfield. Complete midfielder is a comment Ive seen. This guy presents a show on the EFL..

    1.5m for this lad > 3m for Riley McGree..

    We've ended up seemingly with the better player for half the price.

    Looks to be a standout in most categories other than aerially and dribbling success...

    Midfielder Matt O'Reily is having a medical at Celtic ahead of a move from MK Dons.

    Celtic have already made four signings in January and manager Ange Postecoglou said last week he was not planning to add any more players before the transfer window closes.


    But it now appears the 21-year-old could become signing number five with negotiations about a fee of £1.5m said to be progressing well.


    The midfielder is believed to be attracting interest from a number of clubs including Blackburn, Huddersfield, Anderlecht and Venezia

    Swansea boss Russell Martin also interested in signing the player but it's thought they are already out of the running.

    He's scored seven goals with five assists so far this season and has impressed in English League One.



    O'Reily, who was an England youth international, moved to MK Dons last January after rejecting a new three-year first team deal at Fulham.


    He is also eligible to play for both Denmark and Norway.

    Won’t get excited about this until he’s having his testimonial.

    I have no idea what "smart passes" are but he's in the 99th percentile by the looks of it, that's insane. The whole possession section bodes very well for a team like ours. Ange knows how to pick em.

    Aka exactly what we've been missing against teams that sit in against us. Far too often we were opting for the safe pass rather than the 'smart pass'.

    To be honest, I wouldn’t worry too much about those dribbling stats. To me they suggest that he’s having to force the issue in the final third, rather than him being careless in possession. From what I’ve seen, he looks more than capable of keeping the ball in tight situations and going by a man.

    The one position we were light in especially with Turnbull out and Rogic away for 3 important matches and now we have Hetate,O’Riley and Guchi which would push Calmac forward.Great competition for places now.
