Celtic hero Tom Rogic's West Brom transfer handed 'I'm not so happy because I'm Rangers' response

West Brom legend Ally Robertson joked he wasn't happy to see Tom Rogic join the Baggies after his Celtic exit - because he is a Rangers man.

The Australia international left Ange Postecoglou's men at the end of the season following a trophy-laden nine-year stint at the club. He took a lot of time over the summer to decide on his next move before deciding to make the switch to the English Championship by penning a one-year deal with the club holding the option for a further year.

On his capture boss Steve Bruce described 'The Wizard of Oz' as a serial winner and a top professional who could prove to be a brilliant acquisition for his side. His success at Celtic speaks for itself and it is something Robertson hopes he can replicate for his new club. They are sitting in 21st position after a poor start to the season that has brought just one league win in ten outings.

He told the Express & Star : "New signing Tom Rogic spent so long at Celtic and could be ready to make a first appearance.

"I’m not so happy because I’m Rangers! But he’s come from Scottish football and can show what he can do.

"So many people have said what a great time he’s had and done well, hopefully he can do similar here.

"They loved him up there, they thought he was great and actually would’ve had him back!"
