McAvennie sad after learning Rogic plans to quit Celtic in cut-price deal

Frank McAvennie

Celtic and West Ham legend Frank McAvennie joined the Football Insider stable in June 2020 and has not disappointed with his own brand of unique punditry. He loves talking football almost as much as he loved scoring goals, and still has close links in the dressing room at Parkhead.

Frank McAvennie would be sad to see Tom Rogic quit Celtic at the end of the season.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider ahead of the trip to Ross County, the ex-Hoops and St Mirren striker heaped praise on the 28-year-old's strength, creativity and finishing.

Rogic has made 25 appearances across all competitions this season, of which only 12 have been starts.

The Australia international has contributed two goals and four assists in that time, including a sublime strike against St Mirren earlier this month.

When asked for his thoughts on Rogic's potential departure, McAvennie told Football Insider:"I would be sad to see him go because I am a big fan of Rogic.

"I think he is one of these players who never loses the ball. He can find a pass, he can score, as we saw last week, and he is strong. He is one who I love to watch.

"Rogic is a big game player who has scored some big goals in his time at Celtic.

"He might be one of a few leaving in the summer. I have not seen any fans upset about the players who are reportedly set to leave though. I do not think many fans will be too disappointed to see him go."
