‘Very different characters'- Ex- Celtic star Matt O'Riley opens up on Brendan Rodgers and Ange Postecoglou differences
Matt O'Riley has opened up on his time at Celtic a year after his big money move to Brighton. The Danish midfielder swapped the green and white Hoops of Celtic for the blue and white stripes of Brighton for a fee of £30million.

The ex-Celtic ace really found his form under current Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers though, scoring 19 times and setting up the same amount in his final season in Glasgow. The midfielder has spoken about the impact both coaches had on his career, and also talked on their different styles of management. Speaking to The Celtic Way, O'Riley said: "As people, it's hard to say because you don't know them as people away from football, but they were very different characters in the dressing room. "Ange kept himself to himself more and preferred to keep a distance from the players, whereas Brendan was, from a social aspect, happier speaking with players. However, Ange was very good at delegating clear messages to the staff. So I feel like, as a player on the pitch, his instructions were very clear, and it was easy to know exactly what I needed to do." "I think that was reflected in the way we played, but I had really good experiences under both of them, so I'm just lucky to have played for some really good managers already." O'Riley made 124 appearances for Celtic becoming a fan favourite during his spell, but has spoken about how he has became a fan himself. In the same interview, O'Riley said: "I still follow all the games. "Even though I don't post that much on social media, I'm still watching every single game and trying to keep tabs on them. "I'm still in contact with people. It's hard in football to keep contact with everybody because it moves so fast and things change, but I did make some good friends up there, and I'm still in contact with a lot of staff at Celtic, which has been nice." I'm a Celtic-daft bride – I called off the big day but I still celebrated in my wedding dress at Parkhead "I think playing for Celtic prepares you for most things, just in terms of the demands, and the pressure you're under for every single game, as you have to win every game, otherwise it's a disaster. "It's quite different here at Brighton, although the culture here is that we still want to win every game. I think playing for Celtic prepared me for that in terms of the kind of ruthless approach that you need to win every game, and I think that's helped a lot. "Going from MK Dons to Celtic was a big enough step already, but then just when you get up to Glasgow, you don't realise the magnitude of the club, you don't realise how many fans there are and how much people do care. "I think you have to adjust immediately because if you don't, then it's pretty much impossible to do well. It was quite easy for me to settle in at Celtic just because there were so many good people at the club. "It's not an easy place to do well in, and it is very tough. If you do well there, then you can be very grateful. "When you leave a club like Celtic on such good terms after having so much success and so many good times, it would be almost criminal of me not to be a fan."

Rangers set to lose key players due to AFCON schedule switch
This is due to the rescheduled African Cup of Nations. Cyriel Dessers, Mohamed Diomande, Hamza Igamane, and Nasser Djiga could miss important away games against Celtic, Aberdeen, and Hearts. The tournament, usually played in January and February, will now take place in December and January in Morocco. FIFA changed the dates because of the new format of the Champions League, which has crucial league stage games in late January. The initial plan to hold the African Cup of Nations this summer was scrapped after the Club World Cup was expanded and scheduled for the same period. As a result, the tournament is now set to clash with the festive period, posing a challenge for Rangers. Dessers, Diomande, Igamane, and Djiga are expected to represent Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Morocco, and Burkina Faso respectively at the tournament, with all four countries having qualified. FIFA has yet to announce the minimum period clubs must release their players for, but it could potentially see the quartet missing five league games and a Scottish Cup tie. This includes three of their most challenging away trips of the season to Celtic, Aberdeen, and Hearts, with the Old Firm game on January 3. They could also miss home games against Motherwell and St Mirren, depending on how far they progress in the tournament. This is the seventh African Cup of Nations in a row to not go ahead as originally scheduled, due to various reasons like instability in Libya, an Ebola outbreak, delays in stadium construction, Covid, and the rainy season. The new schedule poses a significant challenge for Ibrox boss Russell Martin.

Ex Celtic striker joins Conor McGregor's pub team as Matt O'Riley Hoops love affair continues
O'Riley quit Parkhead for Brighton last summer but still keeps close tabs on his former club Former Celtic striker Anthony Stokes has made a shock return to football by signing for Conor McGregor's pub team. Stokes, 37, has been out of the game since 2020 when he quit Livingston after less than three weeks - blaming Livi's artificial pitch. Since then, ex-Republic of Ireland international has had numerous run-ins with the law and recently avoided jail on appeal for drug dealing and drunk and dangerous driving. But five years since his last professional appearance, former Hibs star Stokes will pull the boots back on for amateur side Black Forge FC. Journeyman Stokes shared the news of the transfer on Instagram, writing: "Better get the dust knocked off the boots." The Dublin-based outfit are owned by former UFC fighter McGregor - who has also pulled on the Black Forge FC shirt. Meanwhile ex- Celtic Treble-winner Matt O'Riley insists the Glasgow club will always hold a special place in his heart. The midfielder spent a trophy-laden two-and-a-half years in Scotland following his bargain £1.5m switch from MK Dons before landing a £25m switch to Brighton last summer. O'Riley - who was linked with Italian champions Napoli last month - endured an injury-hit debut campaign in the Premier League. But the Denmark international is determined to prove his worth for the Seagulls this season. And he revealed he still keeps close tabs on Celtic. He told the Celtic Way:"I still follow all the games. Even though I don't post that much on social media, I'm still watching every single game and trying to keep tabs on them. "I'm still in contact with people. It's hard in football to keep contact with everybody because it moves so fast and things change. "But I did make some good friends up there, and I'm still in contact with a lot of staff at Celtic, which has been nice."
