Tom Rogic is the first Celt on World Cup duty with hoops fans right behind their bhoy for the match against Australia.
Four years ago the midfielder looked a broken man as he was forced to give in to injury and miss out on the action in Brazil.
This morning France will face a player at the peak of his powers with a definite eye for goal on the big occasion.
Oor ROGIC! Beautiful. Good luck Rogic and Socceroos! ????????????

Rogic looked set for the exit door when Brendan Rodgers took over as manager but he quickly impressed the new boss and earned a two year contract and rewarded the Irishman with goals in both cup finals including the dramatic late treble clincher against Aberdeen in the final of the Scottish Cup.
In the season just finished he scored in four matches out of four against Sevco in the Glasgow derby then committed himself to Celtic by signing a new five year contract.
Former Celt Jackson Irvine is also in the Australian squad.
