The 189cm Canberran latched onto a Jonny Hayes cross into the box just seven minutes after their season kicked off and Rogic expertly knocked it into the back of the net.

But amazingly it was the first time he's scored with his head for the Bhoys in five years – and more than 20 goals – of playing for the Glasgow side.

“It was my first header for the club,” Rogic told the club website. “It was a great ball.

"Jonny gives you that, and sometimes his touch and delivery is half a second quicker than some players. I just wanted to get on to the end of it and thankfully it went in.

“Maybe for my size I should score a few more headers. It’s something I’ve been working on so it was nice to get the rewards of that, and hopefully I’ll be able to add a few more for the club in the future.

"It’s a bit of a joke with some of the boys but the most important thing was the win and it was nice to score as well.”

Celtic next face Greek champions AEK Athens in their UEFA Champions League qualifier at Parkhead on Thursday morning.

Despite the crucial test coming so early in the season, Rogic believe his side is ready for the challenge.

“We are in a good place,” he said. “There are a few boys coming back and it’s an important time of the season for us. We are just trying to build momentum.

“Qualifying is massive for us but it’s just about keeping that momentum going and keep improving and progressing. Obviously still early in the season, players still getting up to 100 per cent fitness.

“Every game is important to work on that as a team and all-round. We did that on Saturday. It was disappointing to concede but in most parts it was a great start to the season.”
