And now the 59-year-old – who coached the Dane at Fulham – is refusing O’Riley following in the footsteps of Jota and securing an emotional comeback to Celtic Park.
Grant, speaking on Go Radio said: “I don’t think they will let him (Hatate) go cheaply, if they don’t get the right offer he won’t go.You are looking at Matt O’Riley’s situation, for me, can Matt O’Riley go from the hero he was at Celtic to being a bit-part with Brighton?
He got a bad injury in his first game, he got six minutes the other night, I knew Matt as a kid, he wants to play football all the time.
