Some Celtic fans on Twitter are gutted about the prospect of selling Tom Rogic.

The long-serving Australia midfielder, who moved to Parkhead in 2013, is reportedly set to leave Glasgow.

According to The Daily Mail, an unspecified Qatari club is poised to sign him in a £4 million deal.

Despite his influence waning in recent seasons, the 27-year-old was a massive player for Celtic once upon a time, scoring close to 40 goals in all competitions from midfield since 2015.

Rogic also has a habit of scoring in Old Firm derbies against Rangers, having found the net on five occasions against the Ibrox outfit.

He’s definitely a popular figure among Celtic fans – and some of them are sad about possibly losing him for good.

Here’s how they’re reacting to the speculation:

As sad as they are, £4 million is definitely good business.

That’s because Rogic only managed to start five Premiership games last season and talent or not, Celtic boss Neil Lennon – who originally signed him – just can’t rely on him playing every week.

The Bhoys are going for 10-in-a-row and if Lennon can put this £4 million toward a similarly-matched player with a much better injury record, it’s a no-brainer.
