Celtic celebrated their Scottish Premiership title win with a 3-1 victory over Hearts, and Tom Rogic was superb again.
Celtic fans have, once again, urged the Hoops hierarchy to try and hand Tom Rogic whatever contract is going to keep him at the club after his stunning performance in Brendan Rodgers’ side’s win over Hearts on Sunday.
Having wrapped up the Scottish Premiership title last weekend, the Hoops would have been hoping to extend their lead at the top of the table after Aberdeen were held by Hibernian on Saturday. But it appeared for a little while that they may miss out on the chance as Kyle Lafferty scored a stunning opener for the home side.
However, Dedryck Boyata levelled the score up just three minutes after the deadlock was broken as he scored a brilliant header at the back post. And Celtic would turn on the style after the break.
Moussa Dembele scored Celtic’s second after a simply sumptuous pass from Rogic before Scott Sinclair completed the scoring in stoppage-time. But it was Rogic who left the Bhoys fans stunned again.
His outside of the foot pass for Dembele’s finish was superb and provided yet another reminder of just how much quality the Australian possesses. And that has left the majority of the Celtic supporters suggesting that the club need to make sure that they extend his deal.
BBC Sport reported earlier this week that Southampton were eyeing a deal for the 25-year-old who is out of contract at the end of next season. And his display against Hearts has left the fans in no doubt that getting him tied down has to be a priority this summer.
