Tom Rogic will go straight back into the squad this weekend despite just returning from international duty where he played the lion’s share of minutes for the Socceroos.
Ange Postecoglou was asked if Tom would be given the weekend off considering his games for Australia and his long haul flight.
His response was superb.
Jo Hendry of Go Radio reported Ange’s comments:
“We don’t do breaks during the year. He’ll get a break at the end of the year like everyone else. He’s back and he’s ready to play.”
People will point to Maeda coming in and playing half an hour against TheRangers hours after a long haul flight from Japan to Scotland.
Maeda made two sub appearances for Japan and was pretty fresh.
We have no doubt Tom will want to play and he’ll be delighted to hear Ange confirm his Sunday squad status.
Despite the comments, I wouldn’t be surprised if Reo Hatate and Matt O’Riley kept their place against Motherwell and Tom makes a return to action via the bench.
The bhoys will be at Fir Park hoping to extend their lead at the top in the earlier kick off before their rivals kick off at 3pm.
