Tom Rogic’s star continues to rise at Celtic with the 22-year-old putting in another eye-catching performance in his side’s top of the table clash against Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership.
Rogic went on a mazy run on the hour mark at Celtic Park before teeing up teammate James Forrest for their club's third goal in the 3-1 win, extending Celtic's lead in the standings to six points.
