Former Celtic striker Scott McDonald has praised Ronny Deila for Tom Rogic’s revival and hopes the midfielder seizes his chance.
McDonald scored goals for fun during his time in a Hoops shirt and thrived under Gordon Strachan during their two years together.
The Socceroos striker was high of praise for his fellow countryman Tom Rogic, who was questioning his future at Celtic at times.
Now the 22-year-old is beginning to grow in confidence and is showing the potential that he had when he signed back in January 2013.
He has bagged five goals this season, most recently against Ross County prior to the international break and also dished out three assists.
McDonald, who is currently playing at Motherwell, praised not only Rogic, but Deila too for his sharp turn of form and fortune at the Hoops.
Speaking to the Glasgow Evening Times, he said:
He is still a young lad and it is good to see it come together for him this season. He is starting to get a run of games under Ronny Deila, which will do wonders for his confidence as well as his form.
He is at that age where he needs to be getting as many games under his belt now as possible.
Despite a few rough patches over the last few years with injury and poor form, McDonald believes it’s coming together for the Aussie midfielder at Paradise.
I know the lad himself has admitted that there were times when he feared it might not work out for him at Celtic but he has got himself into the first XI and it is up to him now just where he goes from here.
Celtic is a cracking club for Tom to go and try and make a name for himself. He has the platform to go out and test how high his ambitions are but certainly if he has the opportunity within his grasp then he has to take it.
