Celtic midfielder Matt O'Riley has criticised the VAR delays in Scottish football, calling them "frustrating".

The Denmark under-21 international feels that the stoppages give teams a "breather" against the Hoops and stall the momentum of play.

O'Riley scored his first goal of the season in the recent 5-1 victory over St Mirren in the Scottish Cup and he went on to maintain that the Scottish champions will get on with the job at hand despite their frustrations with the technology.

Speaking at a fan event in Belfast, he said: "It is frustrating. It takes a really long time. I don’t know what the average time is but it must be over two or three minutes each time.

"For us it’s not ideal, especially the way we play and the momentum we have when we’re constantly attacking teams, it gives them a breather as well.

"The way we’re playing, we’re trying to tire teams out, so it’s a bit frustrating in that sense but at the same time everyone has to deal with it.”

And the 22-year-old also praised the Buddies. for not setting up defensively in the recent fixture.

He continued: "They made it difficult for us to be fair. They really gave it a good go. Most teams just sit in the box and sit there for 90 minutes but they gave it a go and I respect that.

"Luckily we broke them down as the game went on.”

Meanwhile, Ex-Brisbane Roar star Besart Beshira has praised Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou's style of play, calling it "incredible" to watch.

The 37-year-old, who worked with the Australian during his time in charge of the A-League side, had nothing but good things to say about his former manager.

Bershira detailed how he watched the Hoops against RB Leipzig and Real Madrid in the Champions League earlier this season and was impressed with how Postecoglou chose to set up his team.

Speaking to Australian outlet Keep Up, he said: "This is incredible. This should be for Australia the goal, the way Ange is doing it at Celtic. I visited the two games actually.

"I was in Leipzig, the Champions League game, and Madrid. And for me, the way he is doing [it] is something very special.

"Watching now as a young coach, seeing how tough this world this as a coach, it is not easy to achieve such success as Ange did with Celtic.

"Winning the title in Scotland and playing a Champions League and being unlucky in Champions League. This is a dream."
