Moore feels Arzani will develop with patience

Former Rangers defender Craig Moore believes that Daniel Arzani being patient could spark the genesis of his career, just like it did for Tom Rogic.

The 19-year old Australia international has not yet featured for Brendan Rodgers’ side, with the Northern Irish coach aiming to ease him into first-team football at the club.

Arzani impressed at the World Cup last summer, and further impressed earlier this week for the Socceroos, while debate raged on about why he hasn’t yet broken through at Parkhead.

However, Moore believes that being patient is key. Talking to the World Game, as reported by the Daily Record, the former Australia captain said:

(The fact he hasn’t broken through yet) is a talking point because we know how talented Daniel is.

We’ve been excited by what we’ve seen in his breakthrough season at Melbourne City and that flowed on with the minutes he had at the World Cup.

Everyone wants to see him to continue to progress, play and develop.

He’s in a process of adapting to a new country, a new style, a new tempo, new teammates and a new climate.

I had a lot of time to develop at Rangers and a lot of reserve matches before I even broke into the first team.

Then you look at Tommy Rogic and the same type of things were said early doors about him during his time at Celtic (how he should look elsewhere for senior football).

He’s done really well there and Celtic have a very good player on their hands.
