Denmark boss Brian Riemer reckons Celtic target Mathias Kvistgaarden 'torments' defenders after he called him up for the first time.
The Hoops have been linked with the Brondby striker for a long time and the 23-year-old appeared to say his goodbyes to the club at the weekend and stated he was 'ready to take the next step' in his career.

He was rewarded for his 17 goals in just 26 league starts for his club this season after he was named in the Danish squad for the first time for their friendlies against Northern Ireland and Lithuania in Copenhagen and Odense.
And national boss Riemer admitted he's been impressed with Kvistgaarden this season.
He said: "He could have been called up sooner, but he had a couple of injury setbacks.
"Kvistgaarden hit really good form at the end of the season, so it was natural he was selected.
"In almost all the matches I've seen Kvistgaarden play, he's been a tormentor for the opponents' defences.
"He really gets a lot out of a little.
"He is a guy who believes in even the most impossible chance. He is willing to run with and without the ball.
"So I look forward to seeing him in camp.
And the player was delighted at the call-up.
He said: "I'm incredibly proud to have been selected for the Denmark team.
"It's huge for me and it's the opportunity to represent my country was something I never thought would happen during my time here."
