Celtic transfer news as Adam Obert price tag 'set' after Cagliari snub and Matt O'Riley gets a new suitor
Fans are desperate to see the champions splash the cash in the final month of the summer window Cagliari have told Celtic just how much they will have to pay to land reported transfer target Adam Obert. The Slovakian international centre-back has been touted as a potential option for the Hoops, with Brendan Rodgers keen to add cover to his back line. It has been claimed that the Hoops saw an approach knocked back by the Serie A club for the 22-year-old because their offer was insufficient to Cagliari's valuation of the player. And now a fresh report from Italy has revealed the alleged figures involved in the rejected offer, stating that Celtic's bid of £3million fell short of the Sardinian side's £6million asking price. Obert's services are said to be in demand in the final month of the summer window, with Belgian outfit Royal Antwerp also said to be keen on the left-sided defender. The youngster is still under contract with Cagliari until 2029. Meanwhile, former Celtic hero Matt O'Riley reportedly has a new suitor. The Brighton playmaker only swapped Parkhead for the Premier League with the Seagulls in a £25million deal last year but injuries and lack of trust from boss Fabian Hurzeler restricted him to just 23 appearances in all competitions. The Denmark international has already been linked with Serie A trio Atalanta, Roma and Juventus with Brighton said to be willing to listen to offers for the 24-year-old. And leading French outlet L'Equipe now claim that O'Riley is wanted by Ligue 1 giants Marseille. The Stade Velodrome side are now managed by Italian coach Roberto De Zerbi, who previously managed O'Riley's current club Brighton.

Slovan Bratislava boss suffers touchline meltdown as hopes of landing jackpot Celtic clash left looking bleak
Vladimir Weiss is in hot water with UEFA after a furious outburst with the officials Slovan Bratislava's chances of setting up a Champions League play-off showdown with Celtic are already looking bleak after their third round first leg qualifying defeat to Kairat Almaty. And the Slovakian league champions will now have to try and overturn the deficit next week without their manager on the touchline after he saw red for berating the match officials. Despite playing the final 25 minutes with 10 men after Rahim Ibrahim was sent off, Slovan looked set to claim a valuable 0-0 draw in Kazakhstan until the last minute of the game, where Dastan Satpaev stepped up to bag the winner from 12 yards after Kairat were awarded a penalty kick. And boss Vladimir Weiss Snr - who's son and former Rangers midfielder Vladimir Weiss Jr captains his team - couldn't hide his fury at the performance of the officials. The livid Czech coach stormed onto the pitch to give match referee Serdar Gozubuyuk a mouthful, to which the Turkish whistler quickly responded by giving Weiss a second yellow card. The veteran boss reacted by marching towards the fourth official on the touchline to let rip with another tirade before he was ushered away by a member of his coaching team. UEFA regulations dictate that Weiss will now serve a one-game touchline ban in the return fixture in Bratislava next Tuesday, with his side needing to score at least once without reply to force extra-time. However, the severity of his dismissal could see the Champions League' s governing body hand out further punishment which could prevent Weiss leading his team from the side-line if they were to overturn the deficit and progress to the play-off round. Brendan Rodgers' Hoops await the winners of the tie later this month for a place in the money-spinning league phase of Europe's most prestigious competition. The Hoops will play host at Parkhead in the first leg on August 19/20 with the the return fixture away from home then comes six days later. The side that loses over two legs will drop into the revamped group section of the Europa League, giving them a guarantee of continental football until next January at the earliest.
