Tom Rogic has reportedly rejected a new Celtic contract.
Celtic playmaker Tom Rogic has reportedly rejected a new contract on Parkhead with Brendan Rodgers seemingly keen to tie up the Australian’s future – but Hoops fans would be more than happy to see him go.
The 25-year-old had been sidelined since December before suffering a knee injury, before returning to feature for an hour of the Bhoys’ 0-0 draw against St. Johnstone last time out in the Scottish Premiership.
The Australia international was the brought on at half time against Zenit St. Petersburg on Thursday night, but could do nothing about the scoreline as Celtic crashed out of the Europa League with a 3-0 second-leg defeat.
Rogic has compounded Rodgers’ woes after the Hoops were knocked out, if Australian outlet’s The World Game report is to be believed. He is said to have been unimpressed with the terms of Celtic’s offer, and is now thinking about leaving.
The report claims that Charly Musonda’s arrival on loan from Celtic has also been taken into consideration by Rogic, who is rated at around £3.4million. He has less than 18 months remaining on his original deal, reportedly worth £15,000 a week.
Celtic fans reacted to the news in surprising fashion, with many suggesting that they would not miss the left-footed star if he did leave Glasgow as he spends more time in the treatment room than on the pitch.
One fan put it bluntly, stating “get rid”.
