Southampton 'scout Celtic's Tom Rogic'

Southampton are reportedly considering a summer move for Celtic midfielder Tom Rogic.

The 25-year-old has scored eight times and registered eight assists in 37 appearances for the Scottish champions in all competitions during the 2017-18 campaign.

According to the Daily Record, Southampton sent their director of recruitment Ross Wilson to watch Rogic in action during the Old Firm derby last weekend, where the Australian was on the scoresheet in a 5-0 win.

Rogic's contract at Celtic will expire at the end of next season, and the report claims that Southampton are hopeful of securing a cut-price deal this summer, although the move depends on whether they can stay in the Premier League.

Southampton are currently 18th in the top-flight table - one point behind 17th-placed Swansea City ahead of their trip to Everton on Saturday afternoon.
