After almost three months on the sidelines, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers couldn't wait any longer for a glimpse of the Aussie talisman, starting him against St Johnstone.
In great news for Socceroos fans, Rogic seemed comfortable on the ball, making a few darting runs and excellent plays in a 60 minute cameo.
Rogic couldn't inspire the win however, as Celtic slumped to a 0-0 draw with the Scottish Premier League strugglers. It was the midfielder's first appearance since December.

Celtic remain nine points clear of Rangers and Aberdeen on their way to a sixth straight SPL crown, however the gap is nearing, if only slightly, on Rodgers' men. Their complete and utter dominance still exists, but it's not quite as emphatic as it used to be.
Rogic's return is timed perfectly for Bert van Marwijk's March squad considerations, with Australia due to face Norway on March 24, and Colombia on March 28.
