'Best player in Scotland' - Some Celtic fans drool over 28-yr-old's display vs AZ Alkmaar

‘Best player in Scotland’ – Some Celtic fans drool over 28-yr-old’s display vs AZ Alkmaar – originally posted on Sportslens.com

Celtic secured a vital 2-0 win in the first leg of the Europa League qualifiers against AZ Alkmaar last night.

The Hoops are now one step closer to booking their place in the group stages of the competition and they will fancy their chances of getting the job done in the second leg away from home.

Celtic looked efficient going forward and they were well organised at the back last night.

Ange Postecoglou will be delighted with the performance of his players in a vital game.

Midfielder Tom Rogic produced another outstanding display for Celtic and the playmaker has been on a different level since the arrival of Postecoglou.

The Australian was expected to leave Parkhead at the start of the season but his transformation has been remarkable and he has been a key player for the Hoops in recent weeks.

The 28-year-old worked hard throughout the game and he was quite effective in the final third as well. Rogic delivered an exceptional ball for the opening goal of the game from Kyogo Furuhashi.

The midfielder will be hoping to build on his recent performances and hold down a regular starting berth at Celtic over the next few months.

Some of the Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on the midfielder’s performance last night and here is what they had to say.

Ralston and Rogic – excellent. Who said Hart can’t play with his feet ? Taylor and Starfelt feel we need at least 1 more without conceding. What a job Ange has done.

Tom Rogic is the best player in Scotland.

NL nearly let Tom Rogic leave for £3m . Think on that

Still daft at the back and will bite us in the arse if we don’t sort it but we look scintillating going forward. Tam Rogic a man reborn. Whatever happens it’s not gonna be boring under big Ange
