Aussie young gun Rogic set for Celtic trial

Rising Australian star Tomas Rogic will have a trial with Scottish giants Glasgow Celtic at their mid-season training camp in Spain this month, his Central Coast Mariners club have announced. The 20-year-old midfielder, who recently made his international debut, will leave for Europe on Thursday. The club said that as yet no offer had been tabled for Rogic, who had been a target for English Premier League club Reading. Celtic are in Spain preparing for the second half of the Scottish Premier League season as well as their UEFA Champions League last 16 tie against Italian giants Juventus starting in February. "This is a great opportunity for Tomas to train with Celtic's first team squad," Mariners football general manager Lawrie McKinna said. "Tom will undoubtedly learn a lot from the experience."
