The Aussie has yet to give any definitive indication­s over his long-term future.

After an opening deal was rejected by the 25-year-old (right) and his camp, there has been stalemate on the situation.

However, although the playmaker is set to attract interest from England and abroad in the summer, Rogic is adamant he’s loving the responsibi­lity and pressures of being at Celtic and that he’s at a massive club at the moment.

He said: “Celtic the club is enormous. There is obviously a large history and anytime there is a match or anytime you pull on that jersey, you have a responsibi­lity.

“There is a certain amount of pressure that comes with representi­ng the club, but all players want to play at the highest level and for the biggest clubs. “That’s what comes with it, so it’s pretty cool to represent the club.

“It’s an atmosphere that is right up there with the very best in the world.

“The players that have played here and the top players who have come to Celtic Park from around the world have only spoken incredibly highly of it.

‘It’s an amazing place to play and you certainly feel the support when you are out there.”
