Australia boss Graham Arnold admitted he is delighted to see Aaron Mooy land a huge move to Celtic and is convinced Ange Postecoglou will have him fit and firing on all cylinders by the time the Socceroos kick off their World Cup campaign in Qatar in November.
The 31-year-old ended a miserable time at club level after mutually agreeing to end his contract at Chinese outfit Shanghai Port and Postecoglou moved to land the player he worked with at international level and handed him a two-year deal at Parkhead.
Mooy struggled during his time in China due to the country’s tough Covid-19 restrictions. He even defied his club's orders to return to the Far East for duty so he could take part in the Socceroos’ World Cup play-offs last month, and played every minute of their wins over the UAE and Peru – and was one of Australia’s best players – despite having played no competitive minutes since February.
