The 23-year-old Aussie international was engaged in contract talks for several months after he rebuked claims that he was set to reject a new contract and leave Paradise for England in the summer.

Under the watchful eye of Deila, Rogic has shown fans what he is capable of and has made 39 of his 54 Celtic appearances this season scoring 10 goals and providing seven assists.

The most memorable of those contributions came against Kilmarnock in the final minute to give the Hoops all three points last month prior to the international break.

After struggling at the beginning of his Celtic career in 2012 with numerous injuries to his groin and several failed loan spells in Australia whilst Neil Lennon was at the club.

His groin problem persisted and resulted in him requiring surgery in September 2014, just three months after Ronny Deila took over at Celtic.

Since then he has broken into the Australian squad and scored three times in his last two games for the Socceroos.

With Brendan Rodgers now at the helm, Rogic will look to continue his growth under the former Swansea and Liverpool manager who will be keen to play high-intensity attacking football.
