# Celtic: Chris Sutton hails ‘magician’ performance from Tom Rogic

**Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has hailed Tom Rogic’s performance in the Hoops’ massive 2-1 derby victory on Sunday, describing him as a ‘magician’.**

### The Lowdown: Famous win for Hoops

Ange Postecoglou’s side went into the trip to Ibrox three points clear of their arch-rivals at the top of the Premiership, highlighting how big a win would be.

Celtic achieved exactly that, going 1-0 down to Aaron Ramsey’s early strike but responding through goals from Rogic and Cameron Carter-Vickers, putting them firmly in pole position to win the title.

### The Latest: Sutton lauds Rogic

Rogic’s all-round performance was superb even aside from his goal – as per [Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/celtic-rangers/bXscX), he won five ground duels, made one tackle and completed 76% of his passes, ranking as Celtic’s second-best performer overall.

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/chris_sutton73/status/1510602583005700100?s=20&t=GhYb2US0Hx29ROGLRkJVrA) after the match, Sutton waxed lyrical over the Australian’s display, stating: “Nothing won yet. Daizen Maeda is a one man closing down machine. Rogic really is a magician. Carter Vickers and Starfelt immense.”

### The Verdict: Magnificent servant

On a day of outstanding individual performances in green and white, Rogic was undoubtedly a standout figure, taking his goal with aplomb and helping Celtic to dominate the midfield battle.

The 29-year-old has been a great servant for the Hoops down the years, making a total of [265 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tom-rogic/alletore/spieler/213672) for the club, and he continues to be a key figure judging by the standards he set in such as crucial encounter on Sunday.

Rogic’s current Celtic deal [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tom-rogic/profil/spieler/213672) at the end of next season and the Hoops should be looking to tie him down to a new contract in the near future or risk losing him on a free transfer eventually. He showed against Rangers just how important he is to Postecoglou’s team.
