Aaron Mooy’s coffee should taste good this morning. Another Celtic victory, another goal for the Australian midfielder and a Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden to look forward to.
At times, it might not look like the Hoops midfielder is enjoying life at Parkhead. But the 32-year-old insists he’s savouring every minute of his time under Ange Postecoglou. Mooy was outstanding for Celtic again at Tynecastle yesterday as they dismantled Hearts to secure a 3-0 quarter-final win. He got them off and running with an opening goal inside two minutes. Kyogo Furuhashi doubled their lead before half-time then Cameron Carter-Vickers put the game to bed with a header late on.
Mooy isn’t a fan of doing media interviews after games. But when he thinks about what Celtic is giving him at this stage of his career, he just can’t keep the smile off his face. The Australia international says he’s never felt like this before in football. The pressure to win every game, an expectant support who demand trophy after trophy. Mooy admits it’s a RELIEF whenever he’s part of a Hoops victory.
