Tom Rogic newsAnge Postecoglou believes that Australia are about to see the best of Tom Rogic.

The Celtic midfielder has reported for international duty against Tajikistan and Jordan on a high after his stunning last gasp goal at Kilmarnock.

Rogic suffered the heartbreak of being left out of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil through injury but Postecogiou is looking forward to working again with the rejuvenated midfielder.

“He has been a massive bonus for us,” the Australian coach told the Sydney Morning Herald. “He’s had a really strong season at Celtic, he has scored a cracker at the weekend, there is no doubt Tommy is someone who I think can really add to the group.

“He has hardly been with us, he missed the World Cup, he missed the Asian Cup, within that time other players have grown in those positions like Mass (Luongo) and Aaron Mooy.

“Having him as well, when you talk about depth, that is what I’m talking about. When I’m facing two games in a window, I have got three or four guys and can literally pick any one of them knowing that we’re going to have a really strong team out there.

“With someone like Tommy coming back, and even (Robbie Kruse) Krusey coming back, when you look at Krusey and Lecks (Mathew Leckie) and Nathan (Burns) now, they’ll bring some real depth where I’m confident of tackling two games with two very strong line-ups regardless of which way I go. I guess that is the point we want to get to all over the park.”
