      Celtic hero Matt O’Riley ‘spotted’ on EasyJet flight as he travels south for medical as Gilmour starts for Brighton

      by

      IMAGES have circulated online of Celtic hero Matt O’Riley on an EasyJet flight as he travels down south to put the finishing touches to his record-breaking Brighton transfer. We told you last night how a deal had been agreed in principle for the 23-year-old midfielder, who is set to join the south coast club on a deal which could net the Hoops a whopping £30m. An image widely shared online shows Matt O’Riley in transitWhen you include significant add-ons, which SunSport understands come up to an additional £5m, all in all it’s an incredible return for a player who cost just £1.5m when he joined from MK Dons in January 2022.We told you exclusively earlier in the week how the player had moved a massive step closer to moving to Brighton – after links to Southampton and Atalanta went cold.The next step, of course, is to undergo a medical, and SunSport understands that the Hoops star has played his last match for the Scottish champions.And Celtic and Brighton fans are both taking this image shared online as further proof that the hugely popular figure on his way.Brighton are in action in the lunchtime kick off against Manchester Utd and SkySports are reporting that O’Riley is travelling down to the south coast today to undergo his medical ahead of the move. O’Riley is expected to put pen to paper on a FIVE-year deal when the loose ends are finally tied up.Brighton are splashing the cash – having added Turkish left back Ferdi Kadioglu days after they brought in Georginho Rutter for £40m from Leeds and forked out £30million for winger Yankuba Minteh from Newcastle United.Brighton field Billy Gilmour in their squad against the FA Cup winners, even though it’s widely expected that he will move to Italian outfit Napoli as soon as Brighton complete a deal for O’Riley.Most read in FootballMore to follow.Could Mahamadou Diawara replace Matt O’Riley and become Celtic’s next £25m starKeep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page More

      Celtic hero Neil Lennon SACKED by Rapid Bucharest after signing TWELVE players in just THREE months

      by

      NEIL LENNON is on the lookout for a new club after being dramatically SACKED by Rapid Bucharest after just THREE months in charge.In all, the Celtic legend presided over just SIX league games for the Romanian side – without winning any. The financier of the Rapid Bucharest team, Dan SucuNeil Lennon’s time at Rapid Bucharest has come to an endCredit: Gettyneil-lennon-press-conference-918220510Lennon, 53, made the shock move to Romania back in May having been out of the game for more than a year.But his spell at Rapid has rapidly turned into a nightmare.Of their six league games this season, Bucharest have drawn five and lost one.The results piled pressure piled on Lennon, who has been forced to insist he has no intention of quitting.But it was claimed overnight club chiefs have taken the decision to SACK Lennon with official confirmation expected in the coming hours.And now confirmation has finally come through – putting an end to a short and unsuccessful chapter of his career.A statement read: “Today, Neil Lennon and FC Rapid decided to go their separate ways.“We thank Neil and his staff for their commitment and professionalism, and we wish them continued success.”Most read in FootballLennon hasn’t been afraid to move away from the UK to pursue his management goals, taking charge previously of Cypriot side Omonia Nicosia. Son of Celtic legend Neil Lennon opens up on ‘honour’ of playing for Northern IrelandThe three-time former Scottish Football Writers Association manager of the year led Omonia to the Cypriot Cup in 2022.He led Celtic to FIVE titles as a manager, as well as four Scottish Cups and one League Cup.That’s in addition to taking Hibs to the Scottish Championship title in 2016-17.It’s been a turbulent spell for Lennon in Romania.The club were forced to deny bizarre reports that Lennon had urinated on the training pitch – reports also later shot down by Lennon during a podcast appearance.Last week, Lennon slammed the ‘levels of absurdity’ surrounding his team after being questioned on an apparent fall-out with the former captain.But he presided over quite a turnover of players at Bucharest – with Rangers target Albion Rrahamani eventually joining Sparta Prague this week in a big money deal. Rapid added 12 players in all, including taking goalkeeper Benji Siegrist from Celtic.

      Angry football manager told he couldn’t bring on striker during Scottish cup clash as bonkers technical error revealed

      by

      PARTICK THISTLE manager Kris Doolan fumed at his side being blocked from making a substitution against Motherwell on Sunday.Thistle played out a goalless draw against Motherwell in the Scottish League Cup, meaning they finished behind the Fir Park men in the group stages and were dumped from the competition. Partick Thistle manager Kris Doolan was left frustrated after his side were unable to make a substitutionCredit: Premier SportsThistle manager Doolan thinks his side could have got the job done if they had been able to bring on striker – something which they were blocked from doing after an unbelievable technical error.Doolan had hoped to sub on 19-year-old forward Ricco Diack, but was bizarrely told he couldn’t do it because of an incorrectly cropped screenshot.Officials informed Doolan that Diack couldn’t enter the pitch as he wasn’t listed on the Partick Thistle team sheet.Only to discover that the teams were screenshotted from an app by the officiating team and Diack’s name had been cut off at the bottom of the screen.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLDoolan ranted about the unbelievable mistake in his post-match interview with Premier Sports.He said: “We showed that we’re capable at this level of performing and performing well, but on the other side I’m a bit angry.”The fact that I went to put a striker on and I was told I couldn’t because he wasn’t on the team lines.”Only for it to turn out that he was actually on the team lines and it was an error.”Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSHe explained: “We’re obviously putting a striker on to try and win the game.”We were then told that we couldn’t list him on the teamsheet so we couldn’t put him on. Haaland slapped by referee during Man City’s clash with Real Madrid”We thought that was our error, but after the game we found out that he was on the teamsheet from our side.”It’s all done online now, it’s all done via an app, and unfortunately eight names out of the nine [substitutes] were screenshot and the ninth one was cut off.”So the referees didn’t actually know that Ricco was on the team lines.”Adding: “We’re looking to try and win the game, it’s worth a lot of money to the club and it’s a good chance for us to go through and get that money.”Unfortunately an error on the part of, a common system, has thrown that out of the park for us.”Doolan also revealed that he feels he “has to” speak to the SPFL about the decision, describing it as “really disappointing”.Who are these famous footballers?Fans couldn’t believe the shocking gaffe either and took to social media to react, with some calling for the match to be replayed.One wrote: “Absolute shambles this is btw. Could’ve/would’ve been the difference between going through or not. Shambles is an understatement.”While another added: “Surely this game should be replayed??”READ MORE SUN STORIESA third joked: “A definite disadvantage to Thistle due to incompetence outside of our control, some form of apology should be on its way along with a way to rectify this error.”And a fourth posted: “The whole system is a joke.” More
