Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has dropped a huge update on Tom Rogic ahead of the Hoops' upcoming Premiership clash.

What's the latest?

Speaking in his pre-match press conference (via Clyde 1 Superscoreboard), the 56-year-old Bhoys boss revealed that the 29-year-old will not be available for Wednesday evening's Old Firm clash, as the midfielder is set to play 90 minutes in Australia's World Cup qualifying fixture against Oman on Tuesday.

Speaking about the availability of Rogic, Postecoglou said: "Tommy will play [for Australia]. He'll play 90 minutes so you can pretty much rule him out. So, he'll be out."

Fans will be gutted

Considering just how important a part of Postecoglou's side Rogic has been so far this season, the news that the midfielder is definitely out of Wednesday's top of the table clash is sure to have left the Parkhead faithful gutted.

Indeed, over his 18 Premiership appearances in the current campaign, the £1.35m-rated man has scored three goals, registered six assists and created nine big chances for his teammates, as well as taking an average of 2.1 shots and making 1.8 key passes per game - with these returns seeing the midfielder average a SofaScore match rating of 7.00.

Furthermore, with Rogic's fellow attacking midfielder, David Turnbull, also being unavailable for selection as a result of a hamstring injury, the 56-year-old Hoops manager will once again be left short of options in his three-man midfield for what is arguably Celtic's biggest game of the season so far.

As such, it is clear for all to see that Rogic's involvement with his national team will come as a major blow to Celtic's chances of leaving Wednesday's fixture with all three points - with a loss against the Bhoys' Glasgow rivals potentially having disastrous consequences for Postecoglou's title hopes.
