Central Coast midfielder Tom Rogic will join Scottish giants Celtic in a mid-season training camp, but the Mariners deny any deal has been done.
The suspended playmaker will depart Australia on Thursday to link with The Bhoys at their camp in Spain, where they are preparing for the second half of the Scottish Premier League season as well as their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie against Italian giants Juventus commencing in February.
Rogic will participate in training as well as sports science and fitness testing with Celtic in Spain, however the Mariners denied that any offer has yet been tabled.
According to reports in The Daily Telegraph, the Mariners rejected an offer for Rogic from Celtic last week but the Gosford club are unwilling to let their finest young talent go cheaply.
Mariners general manager of football, Lawrie McKinna, said: “This is a great opportunity for Tomas to train with Celtic-s first team squad.
"Celtic are in their mid-season break and are busy preparing for their Champions League matches against Juventus starting in February, so Tom will undoubtedly learn a lot from the experience.”
