Discussions opened with Celtic around the turn of the year though little progress has been made to this point. The player remains confident something will be done.

He said: “We’re still speaking to the club. I’m very happy with Celtic and I’m enjoying my time here. Hopefully we can agree to something sooner rather than later.”

Rogic scored twice for Australia last night after coming off the bench for the Socceroos in their match against Tajikistan. Australia won 7-0 in the World Cup qualifier.
