Tom Rogic life after Celtic 'grudge' addressed as West Brom playmaker frozen out of Australia squad

Australia boss Graham Arnold insists Tom Rogic still has a chance to make his World Cup squad - despite being left out of the final squad to be named before the tournament.

The Aussie playmaker had been a free agent since pulling the curtain down on a trophy-laden spell at Celtic after a career spanning almost 10 years with the Hoops, but has now penned a one-year contract with West Brom in the English Championship. During his spell out of the game, Rogic snubbed a Socceroos' call-up for personal reasons leading to the 29-year-old missing the World Cup playoff with the United Arab Emirates.

Since then, Arnold has admitted he was snubbed by the former Celtic playmaker when he reached out during his spell as a free agent. Arnold has just announced his 31-man squad ahead of their warm up double header against New Zealand, at home in Brisbane on September 22 then away in Auckland on September 25 and was quizzed on if the Baggies recruit has a chance of making the tournament in Qatar.
