The mid-season signing has been headline news across Scotland but it's still subject to a work permit being granted by authorities.

Scottish Television reports the 20-year-old playmaker will go before a Scottish FA panel at Hampden to endorse his employment in the UK.

Rogic was denied a move to Reading by the English FA a year ago but is unlikely to face any obstacles this time around as it is believed he will qualify as an "exceptional talent".

It's hoped his meteoric rise from virtually unknown amateur to Socceroo in the space of a year and his $750,000 move to Celtic after just 28 professional games will underline his "exceptional talent" status.

His arrival in Glasgow has sparked huge interest in Scotland as Celtic fans and their rivals eagerly devour any information on the new signing.

Celtic moved quickly for the player after he spent several days training with the team in Spain, getting the jump on EPL clubs Reading, Fulham and Queens Park Rangers as well as beating off interest from Spain.

The long-term contract shows faith in the ability and potential re-sale value of the former Central Coast Mariner who was available on a free at the end of the season.

And it could prove lucrative for both Celtic and Central Coast Mariners if Rogic lives up to his billing and impresses in the Scottish Premier League.

If Rogic continues to develop as he did in Australia, he could soon easily command a seven figure transfer fee if Celtic choose to sell him on - and Mariners are understood to be in line for 15 percent of any future resale value.

Celtic fans have been buzzing with the news with one forum thread headed: “Tom Rogic – our future No. 10?”

The UK’s Daily Mail referred to his “formidable reputation both as an athlete and for his ability to unlock defences”.

STV has been following Rogic’s story closely, looking at his rapid rise from obscurity to one of eight winners of Nike’s The Chance talent search and his introduction to the Socceroos.

They interviewed FourFourTwo Australia's online editor Kevin Airs about the new signing for their evening television news programme, and the full interview and story is available here.
