Whether he was Man of the Match is up for debate, but regardless, Tom Rogic received more plaudits from impressed Celtic fans.
The Socceroo consolidated an impressive week that included another national team callup as well as a Champions League goal, scored in the Bhoys’ 5-2 win over Israeli side Hapoel Be’er Sheva.
Rogic started and finished the 90 minutes as the reigning Scottish champions dispatched St Johnstone thanks to goals from Scott Sinclair, Leigh Griffiths, Ryan Christie and James Forrest. He played a key role in attack, and his efforts included a classy outside-of-the-boot pass which allowed Sinclair to score.

In and out of the Celtic team under former boss Ronny Deila, 23-year-old Rogic has excelled under new manager Brendan Rodgers, stringing together a positive run of early-season form.
Here’s what the fans had to say about his performance.
Rogic, Tierney both excellent for Celtic today. I think Rogic has looked better so far because he's not asked to press so high.

Tom Rogic is growing in stature every time he pulls on a Celtic top. A far cry from going back on loan in Australia. 🍀⚽️
