Tom Rogic Cut From Celtic’s New Pink Kit Promos.. Could He Be Leaving Club?

Tom Rogic might be on his way out of Celtic after the Australian playmaker appeared to be Photoshopped out of the club’s promotion of their new pink third kit.

The Hoops yesterday launched their new strip, a bright pink number that has divided opinion among supporters.

But some eagle-eyed fans have spotted a big difference between kit-makers New Balance and Celtic’s promotion of it online.

As can be seen from this tweet sent by NB, Rogic is included alongside Mikael Lustig, Leigh Griffiths, Craig Gordon and Scott Brown:

Rogic is also included in several pictures that we were sent among a press release for the pink third kit.

But Celtic’s imagery is different, with Erik Sviatchenko, Stuart Armstrong and Kieran Tierney all appearing where the Aussie and team-mate Lustig initially were:

That could simply be a change in the line-ups pictured on the day, but it also could be an indication that Rogic hasn’t been included in the club’s promotion for a reason.

And that reason may be that his day’s are numbered, despite emerging as one of the team’s best players during a disappointing last season for Ronny Deila.

Several fans certainly believe it could be the end for Rogic – not that they would agree with the decision if he did leave:

So rogic was used for the NB Pink jersey promotional material but was photo shopped out for the Celtic promotional material? Hmmm… — Celtic Underground (@celticrumours) July 25, 2016

Been advised not to get Rogic in back of my new pink away top — Gerry Braiden (@BraidenHT) July 25, 2016

Looks like Rogic is off. Pity, cracking player just can't play 90 minutes… — T.R_Celtic (@T_Celtic) July 25, 2016

If Tom Rogic leaves he'll go with best wishes. Plenty skill but always toiling with fitness.Can't wait to see Jozo fully fit.Looks a player. — Màrtainn (@Martybhoy_HH) July 25, 2016

Be disapointed if Tom Rogic is off. Could well be the case as far from 1st or even 2nd choice pre-season. — Ryan Tinney (@TinneyCFC89) July 25, 2016

If the rumours about Tom Rogic leaving the club soon are true I'll be very disappointed but not entirely shocked. Hopefully just hearsay… — Martin Wardhaugh (@MartinWardhaugh) July 25, 2016

Would be gutted if rogic leaves? — Lee (@lee_mcluckie) July 26, 2016

Rogic being missing from Celtic’s promotional pictures does make you wonder, but the fact Lustig has been replaced too suggests there’s nothing serious behind it all.

The Australian – whose contract finishes at the end of this season – is in Kazakhstan with Brendan Rodgers’ squad as they prepare to take on Astana in the first leg of their Champions League qualifier.

If Rogic makes an impact there then that could say more about his Hoops future than his involvement in any kit promotion.

What’s your view – should we read into this?
