With the Asian Cup right around the corner, a lot of top football clubs will be fretting over losing some of their top players to international duty, Be it Huddersfield Town with Aaron Mooy or Tottenham Hotspur with Heung-Min Son, a lot of clubs are affected. However, Celtic fans are fuming as it appears Tom Rogic will miss the Old Firm when he travels.
BR on @Tom_Rogic: “Tom will play in the Aberdeen game and then fly out after that, as far as I’m aware. It’s a shame for him and us.” #CELDUN

Rogic is undoubtedly a key man in Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic side and whenever he plays the Hoops always look like a much more threatening side. Yesterday saw Rogic help his side to a 3-0 win over Dundee in the Scottish Premier League, and whilst he didn’t get a goal or an assist on the day, he was still a top performer as the Bhoys avoided what could have been an embarrassing banana skin defeat.
The next game that the Parkhead faithful face comes in just three days time when they travel to Pittodrie on Boxing Day, and whilst they’ll have their Australian wizard for that clash, they’ll be without him as they travel to Ibrox three days after that on the 29th December, and with Steven Gerrard’s resurgent Rangers pushing Rodgers’s side in the league, Rogic could prove to be a huge miss.

Joke, Celtic pay his wages.

Not good enough Celtic!!
Player has to decide CLUB or COUNTRY!!— Mr Henrik (@davbhoy7) 22 December 2018
The Bhoys are far from pleased to have to face Rangers without their Wizard of Oz, and will hope they can get through the clash with all three points without him.
