“The 22-year-old was the subject of a £10m bid from Leeds United.

“Celtic rejected it and now hope to tie him up on a new deal during this international break.”

Although Leeds did not recruit O’Riley, they did bolster their midfield with the additions of Ilia Gruev and Glen Kamara.

The latter made his debut for the club as a late substitute in the 0-0 draw with Sheffield Wednesday.
