After the part he played in Sunday’s Cup semi-final demolition, fans have been calling on the club to give Tom Rogic a new deal.
The Aussie scored the crucial opening goal in the first half, performing a perfect turn inside the box before slotting home.
On Twitter, many fans are keen for the club to extend the 25 year old’s contract:

Announce Rogic on a 10 year contract

Verdict:
The Australian’s contract expires in 2019, but talks have stalled over an extension. Reports in February suggested that Tom had rejected a new deal but that story was later denied by the club.
The Daily Record at the time said that discussions were ongoing, but there still hasn’t been a breakthrough despite the player having only 14 months left to go before he can leave for nothing.
All supporters will want Rogic to commit his long term future to the club, and hopefully we will have some good news on this front in the coming weeks.
