Close ally of Tom Rogic, Ron Smith admits he's in the dark over what the midfielder will do after Celtic - but retirement claims have been given an assessment.
The former Australia interim coach, who discovered and nurtured Rogic as a 10-year-old in Canberra, has been left guessing along with the Parkhead support over what comes next for him. Claims emerged earlier this week that the attacking playmaker could call time on his career at 29, after ending nine trophy-laden years at Celtic in May.
There is also a World Cup in November to think about with the Soccerroos, but he will need to get a club first before considering that. Smith told FTBL it has to be a personal issue that would cause an early hanging up of boots for a player he recommended to A-League side Central Coast Mariners at 18.
