It was a very strange night at Celtic Park this evening, with Brendan Rodgers’ Hoops producing a poor performance against RB Salzburg before eventually progressing to the next stage of the UEFA Europa League anyway.
Many had predicted that Celtic would have to secure a draw to progress into the last 32 of the competition, but RB Leipzig slipped up at home to Norwegian strugglers Rosenborg, allowing the Hoops to book their place in the next round.
That’s despite a 2-1 defeat at home to Salzburg, who outclassed and outfought the Hoops throughout a tense 90 minutes in Paradise.
Obviously delighted to progress, many fans were left frustrated by the performance regardless.
Plenty of supporters are pointing the finger at Tom Rogic as one of the worst players on the pitch, frustrated with his work ethic and poor possession.
Fans expect more from the Aussie star and will be hoping he can pick up his form ahead of a tough remaining schedule in December.
These supporters took to Twitter to share their thoughts on his display…

Just back from the most bizarre game I've ever been to. We were utterly, utterly hopeless. Rogic was terrible. Gordon should not be back in goals. Still a party at the end though πππ

Tom Rogic with one of the worst individual performances Iβve ever seen from a Celtic player.

Rogicβs pass and dribble completion similar to mine at 5s. Honkin performance. Him and Eddy out their tits. Onwards βπΌπ

@CelticFansTV We were way under par tonight. Rogic a passenger and Eduards first touch was appalling. Feel really bad for Gordon after that mistake. Delighted to go through to the last 32, we got 9 points in a strong group. We deserved to go through. Thks to our friends at ROSπ

Tom Rogic should donate his wage to @FoundationCFC as he was absolutely rotten tonight! Granted he wasnβt the only one. Time for @ScottBain_ to get a run in the team. Celtic got out of jail tonight thanks to @RBKfotball #EuropaLeaguex

If anyone can locate Rogic in Glasgow somewhere, tell him he missed the game #UEL #CELFCS
