As the Celtic team enjoy a well-deserved break after the Sydney Super Cup tournament, Matt O’Riley opened up on the experience in Australia and paid tribute to the fans for their commitment to the team.

The Hoops midfielder said the tournament was an eye-opener and said that, compared to the Everton fans, the Celtic fans were very dedicated in their vocal support of the team.

As reported by the Daily Record, O’Riley said, “Every new experience is an eye-opener.

“Even just our support for the Everton game was crazy.

“Compared to Everton, we were a lot louder. We showed that we have very dedicated fans.

“I spoke to a few Australian fans at the beach the other day and they said they get up at three every morning to watch all of our games.

“That just shows how big our club is.”

Celtic have an incredible support and have shown throughout the years that they are one of the best-supported clubs in the world.

Recently ranked as one of the top 50 clubs in the world by stat site FiveThirtyEight [via Football Scotland] it is hardly surprising that when the club go on tour, the fans follow them wherever they go.

Maybe this will make O’Riley think twice about moving as recent speculation has linked the classy midfielder with a move away from Paradise after reports earlier in the season suggested that he was being scouted by Manchester United [Football Scotland].

Who are Celtic’s most capped players from these countries?
