No 'like-for-like' replacement for O'Riley

Manager Brendan Rodgers doubts Celtic would be able to find a "like-for-like" replacement for Matt O'Riley, should he be sold.

The Denmark midfielder, 23, has been linked with Atalanta, Brighton and Southampton with Atalanta reportedly having had a fourth bid rejected.

O'Riley has started both of defending champions Celtic's games so far this season, including Sunday's 2-0 Scottish Premiership win at Hibernian.

"I don't think we can replace like-for-like," Rodgers told BBC Scotland.

"If he did leave, to get someone like that straight away would be very difficult. If he did go, it would be for big money and obviously we won't be spending that on one player.

"I'm not overthinking it. He's a gifted player that I love working with. His attitude is first class and he knows I trust him 100%."
