Dalglish says Rogic is ‘such an important player’ to Celtic

Sir Kenny Dalglish was full of praise for Tom Rogic, calling the Celtic midfielder “such an important player” to manager Brendan Rodgers and “one of the finest” playmakers.

Rogic joined Celtic from Australian A-League side Central Coast Mariners in 2013 and has gone on to make 148 appearances in all competitions, scoring and creating 60 goals.

The 25-year-old, who has made 41 appearances for the Australian national team, has impressed this season with two goals and four assists in eight Scottish Premiership games.

His future was in doubt in 2017/18 but he ended up extending his contract with Celtic in May 2018.
