    He was a joy to watch , touches , turns, flicks , awareness. Shooting has gone off the boil ...as has Mcgregor's - both used to bang in worldies from outside and around the box back in the Brendan days. Noticed Rogic skies his while Callum is very very tame with his efforts, hitting the target but always comfortable saves.

    He's fit as he's ever been. But aye he actually has lost a bit of goal threat despite playing well

    MERCURIAL is a word almost exclusively reserved for outrageously talented footballers, but is not always a term of absolute endearment. The inference of course is that while the player in question has the capacity to dazzle, they lack the consistency to be dependable.

    The description, or at least the way it is used in the footballing vernacular, could have been coined to describe Tom Rogic, encapsulating both his wizardry that earned him his nickname and the fragility that earned him a reputation – fairly or not – for a lack of hardiness.


    But the arrival of Ange Postecoglou has brought about a rebirth in the midfielder’s Celtic career that has taken him from the brink of a move to Qatar to the centre of his compatriot’s rebuild. And the message from his manager as Rogic gets set to rack up his 22nd appearance for Celtic already this season against Hibernian tonight is that the best is yet to come.

    “I know Tom well and have always felt that he’s got a something special about him,” said Postecoglou.


    “He’s one of those players who most people would say they enjoy watching.

    “He’s just got something different about him. Yes he’s had some issues but sometimes I think he’s one of the players who people want to put in a certain box.

    “Throughout his career, he’s done some remarkable things. He’s had a fantastic career here with Celtic. You don’t stay at a football club like this unless you have something to offer



    I still think there’s more to come. He’s only 28. In many respects his best football years could be ahead of him. Hopefully that continues.

    “He’s now beyond the 50 cap mark with Australia which isn’t easy. To travel from this side of the world to play for Australia is a lot more challenging than maybe some other national teams.

    “He’s done remarkably well. He’s become a senior member here at Celtic and with the national team.

    “At both club and international level, he’s got plenty to offer for both teams












    He is certainly offering more for Celtic this term than last, having already started the same number of games - 14 - this season than he did in the entirety of last season.

    The big question mark surrounding Rogic has always been his fitness, and while he has only completed the full 90 minutes on three occasions under Postecoglou, his manager explained his reasoning behind consistently withdrawing the attacker around the 70 minute mark.

    “He works really hard in training,” he said. “Since I’ve been here, knock on wood, he’s done everything right on and off the field.

    “I think he’s looking strong in games. In some games we’ve taken him off only because we’ve wanted to change the dynamic a little bit rather than due to fitness.

    “Him and David Turnbull have played a lot of football so far. We’ve just got to be careful with them not to tip them over the edge.

    “We’re working hard with the sports science staff to make sure we are keeping track of their workloads. At the moment, they are both still really strong and looking bright in games.

    “That’s pleasing for us because both players can make a big impact when they are on the field.”

    Id like to see big Tam play in a deeper role for Celtic. He has a great turn and is great in transition between defence and attack. He also holds the ball well and has a versatile underrated passing range. Feel that sometimes for Celtic he’s deployed too far forward and gets crowded out by defenders and starts turning it over or nutmegging himself. He actually played the deep lying midfielder role for Mariners to great effect, I remember watching him and thinking he could be anybody.

    Big Tams testimonial year. Who would have thought he'd stay for 10 seasons and more.

    Don't think so.

    Played in the 2012/13 season, 2013/14, 2014/15, 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20, 2020/21 and now the 2021/22 season.

    Time flies.

    Your right this season is his 10th season at Celtic and he should easily pass the 250 appearances mark for us this season. Although a bit more to go to make it 50 goals he is on 41 right now.

    People saying that Tam's shooting has not been what is usually is are correct but thats something that you dont lose, his ability to do that will always be there. He's due a few crackers and it wouldnt surprise me if that starts tonight.

    He needs to stay injury free....which has been a problem for him down the years. He also needs a prolonged run in the team....which he is getting under Ange who seems to know how to get the best out of him.

    He also needs to calm it with travelling away to Australia for meaningless friendlies etc which definitley takes its tole on him. I hope Ange being a former Australia boss and probably in with the Australian F.A can put a stop to that. World Cup qualifiers etc then fair enough....but not a 4 day round trip to play against Tonga or something in a daft friendly when he's then expected to be on top form for us at the weekend

    For fear of repeating myself, he has the best close control of any Celtic player over the last few decades. Brilliant footballer.

    Such a shame, that was a good a half of football as he has ever played. A joy to watch.
