Tom Rogic had an emotional farewell after almost a decade with Celtic having announced he’ll be leaving in the off-season.
Rogic started and played 62 minutes in Celtic’s 6-0 victory over Motherwell as they concluded their triumphant Scottish Premiership-winning season in style on Saturday.
The Scotsman rated Rogic 7/10 and wrote: “Said goodbye to Celtic Park as a winner in an emotional afternoon but no goal or typically late runs for popular midfielder. Replaced to standing ovation by James McCarthy.”
Rogic was named in the Scottish PFA Team of the Year this season for the first time in his career.
“I am ready for a new challenge and a change of scene is something that will motivate me,” Rogic told Channel 10.
“I’ll sit down with my agent in the coming weeks and discuss my options. Right now it’s just about what a great time I’ve had here and enjoying my last couple of days.”
Cameron Devlin and Nathaniel Atkinson both earned 5/10 ratings for their 45-minute displays in Hearts’ 3-1 home loss to Rangers. Devlin started the game but was replaced at the break by Atkinson as Hearts finished the season third.
The Edinburgh Evening News rated Devlin 5/10 and wrote: “Got a bit lost in the central midfield area. Put in his usual effort but not to much effect and got barked at by Robbie Neilson. Subbed at the break.”
On Atkinson, the Edinburgh Evening News wrote: “Did a little better than Smith at right-back, but not by much.”
