# Celtic: Tom Rogic a doubt for Livingston

**Celtic midfielder Tom Rogic is a doubt for the Hoops this weekend against Livingston, according to [Football Scotland reporter Jack Thomson](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/celtic-vs-livingston-tv-live-22002291).**

### The Lowdown: Rogic a regular

Rogic, who Ange Postecoglou called [‘brilliant’](https://www.67hailhail.com/news/celtic-boss-ange-postecoglou-dishes-out-tom-rogic-praise-after-super-game/), has been a regular for the Hoops this season. He’s featured in each of Celtic’s [22](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tom-rogic/leistungsdaten/spieler/213672) games so far, scoring [once](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tom-rogic/leistungsdaten/spieler/213672) and registering [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tom-rogic/leistungsdaten/spieler/213672) assists.

The Australian had to be replaced just before the interval against Hibernian on Wednesday through [injury](https://www.sofascore.com/team/football/celtic/2352), with Postecoglou fairly [coy](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7913883/celtic-postecoglou-rogic-injury-update-hibs/) over the extent of his hamstring problem following the win at Easter Road.

However, [Football Scotland](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/celtic-vs-livingston-tv-live-22002291) believe the 28-year-old is doubtful as Celtic look to make it [six wins from six](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/celtic/scores-fixtures/2021-10?filter=results) in October.

### The Latest: Rogic a doubt

Thomson shared a story on [Football Scotland](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/celtic-vs-livingston-tv-live-22002291) on Friday morning, sharing numerous details regarding the Celtic Park clash this weekend.

When it came to team news, he claimed that Rogic is a doubt for Saturday and will more than likely join Greg Taylor on the sideline, with Christopher Jullien and James Forrest still looking to return to full fitness.

### The Verdict: Hopefully nothing serious…

Rogic has been a mainstay in Postecoglou’s side this season in what has been a busy few months, so it might not be the end of the world if he does miss one game to recover and ultimately have a rest.

However, it would be bad news if Rogic was sidelined for a long period of time, as Postecoglou has relied on his fellow countryman for a creative spark through the middle – nobody in the squad is completing more than his [2.3 dribbles per game](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/103/Show/Scotland-Celtic).

Rogic, Callum McGregor and David Turnbull have been Postecoglou’s go-to midfield three for large parts of the campaign, so losing one of the trio for a long period of time could be a blow just as the Hoops started to gather some momentum.
