Fans of Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are laughing at reports about Celtic’s Tom Rogic.
It’s safe to say that if Rangers fans have the opportunity to add insult to injury for Celtic fans, they’re going to take it.
And they have.
Rangers beat their Old Firm rivals 1-0 at Ibrox on Saturday for their first win over the Hoops in 13 attempts, such has been Celtic’s dominance in this fixture down the years.
Brendan Rodgers’s side were without Tom Rogic on the day, after the Australia midfielder jetted home for the Asia Cup following Celtic’s win over Aberdeen on Boxing Day.
But Rogic hasn’t even been included in the squad for the game against Oman – a decision guaranteed to rile Bhoys supporters, but delight Rangers fans.
Here is how they reacted to his omission:
Rodgers can and should be furious, to be fair.
Rogic is a massive player for Celtic and considering he scored four goals in six games against Rangers last season, his absence was significant, especially given the fact that they only lost by the one goal.
It remains to be seen why Graham Arnold hasn’t selected him to face Oman, but the 26-year-old has a history of knee injuries and those affiliated with the Parkhead club will be hoping that his omission isn’t linked to that.
