News about Aaron Mooy

A PICTURE has the capacity to say more than a thousand words. The aftermath of Celtic's win over Rangers in September was a case in point. The return of Brendan Rodgers to Celtic wasn't met with universal acclaim. Memories of the Northern Irishman performing a midnight flit to join Leicester City in February 2019 raised issues of trust among supporters tired of being let down by managers who expressed their love for the club one week, then packed a suitcase the next. After all that syrup on the pitch about the late Tommy Burns, Ange Postecoglou fled for Spurs as fast as his legs could take him. If an English club came back in for Rodgers, there was an obvious suspicion. He'd be next.

Manchester United's Dan Ashworth has been designated as the No. 1 target in the hunt for a new sporting director. Ashworth, 52, works in Newcastle United, but it appears Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS have chosen the man to oversee recruitment at Old Trafford. United and Newcastle are expected to reach an agreement over Ashworth by early next week, according to Mail Sport. Both sides are planning a formal approach for the sporting director, and a prompt conclusion is the preferred result.

Socceroos coach Graham Arnold admits he has selection 'headaches' ahead of the start of Australia's 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign next month in Melbourne

The next generation of Socceroos stars will debut against Mexico this month and they will be mentored by World Cup hero Graham Arnold after he rejected overtures from the Scottish Premiership to commit to Australia

After leaving Roma for Sassuolo, Australian-Italian star Cristian Volpato thanked Jose Mourinho for allowing him to play in Serie A. On Saturday, the Neroverdi announced Volpato's signing with a brief address, announcing that he and fellow Roma youngster Filippo Missori were reunited. Sassuolo made the third-most costly Australian player after Harry Souttar and Aaron Mooy, according to Sky Sports Italy.

With a short, trophy-laden stint at Scottish powerhouse Celtic under former Socceroos manager Ange Postecoglou, the former English Premier League midfielder concluded his impressive club career. In a tweet on Friday, Mooy said, 'I've been lucky enough to live out my fantasies of playing for Australia.'

Celtic are set to boost their Australian contingent with the signing of socceroos attacker Marco Tilio from Melbourne City despite losing Ange Postecoglou. Aaron Mooy and assistant coach Harry Kewell, both 21 years old, will play for the Hoops, who announced last week that Brendan Rodgers would return to take over from the departed Postecoglou, who has taken over the reins of English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. Tilio, a member of Australia's 2022 World Cup squad, has made five appearances for the Socceroos.

Ange Postecoglou, the Celtic manager, has admitted that he is "aware" of being linked to the vacant manager position at Tottenham Hotspur, but that he remains focused on Scotland's future in Scotland. If Celtic beat Inverness in the Scottish Cup final, they will win the treble, but Postecoglou will move forward to the next challenge rather than pretending he has done it all.

Melbourne City's Jordan Bos (pictured left) has sealed his transfer to Belgian Pro League side KVC Westerlo for $2 million, breaking a A-League men transfer record. The 20-year-old just made his Socceroos debut and is looking forward to seeing him around the world.

STEPHEN MCGOWAN AT TYNECASTLE PARK: It was only fitting and right that the decisive, championship-winning breakthrough should come from Kyogo Furuhashi's boot. The Celtic talisman has come to define the Ange Postecoglou period. The Japanese striker has been the most influential of all the Australian's innovative, value-for-money signings, the most popular. The player who spearheaded the Scottish game's hegemony. The Parkhead side were never quite at their best on record in 12 years, needing just one victory to win their eleventh Scottish Premiership title in 12 years. At a time when it was just 1303 people in a tiny corner of Tynecastle, it barely mattered.

JOHN MCGARRY, DINGWALL: These are the days when Ange Postecoglou seems to have it so easy, as Celtic boss Just don't have water. With 95 minutes played at Dingwall, the visitors were limited to a contested VAR awarding penalty for their efforts. The Australian side was running the risk of an untimely losation in the third round, while the home straight is a way behind.

Aaron Mooy, a former footballer of Sydney, has been ruled out of the 'Welcome Home' series in Australia due to a lingering back injury. The 32-year-old Celtic star has been excellent for the Bhoys under Ange Postecoglou's guidance, but the team's 3-1 victory over Hibernian on the weekend left them with the soreness. After consultation with socceroos medical staff, it was decided that Mooy would remain in Scotland, rather than missing the friendlies on March 24 and 28. Ryan Strain has been called up to assist him.

Alex Robertson (pictured left), a Manchester City midfielder, is expected to declare his allegiance to Australia after being selected in the Socceroos squad for two upcoming friendlies against Ecuador. Coach Graham Arnold is also confident that he will convince Cristian Volpato (pictured right) - who is eligible for Italy - to follow Robertson's example and become a future Socceroo.

HEARTS 0 – 3 CELTIC – GRAEME CROSER AT TYNECASTLE PARK - GRAEME CROSER... TYNECASTLE PARK – The Treble is now in sight for Ange Postecoglou's Celtic, who have turned their bludgeoning of Hearts into a comprehensive Scottish Cup bludgeonization of Hearts. This was a result that dismantled the expectation that this was a quarter-final tie tense with danger, with a head within two minutes and still looking for goals at the death.

JOHN MCGARRY: Suggestions that the balance of power in Scottish football may have been tilted back toward Glasgow's south side seem to have been exaggerated. Despite Michael Beale's arguably improved Rangers since being in charge of the Viaplay Cup in November, they were still struggling to loosen Celtic's grip. Ange Postecoglou's side deservedly retained the first trophy the Australian won at Parkhead last season.

When Rangers' team faces rivals Celtic in the Scottish League Cup final, Michael Beale has a chance to win his first trophy. The Old Firm's match against Hampden Park on Sunday promises to be a tumultuous affair as the bitter rivals clash for the first silverware of the season. Beale has had a fruitful run so far, winning 12 games and drawing once in all competitions following his appointment in November.

Aaron Mooy (pictured left) and former national team coach Ange Postecoglou (right) have all been portrayed as uninterested players in the slew of financial charges directed at Manchester City. The EPL giants, who are owned by City Football Group, have been accused of 'cooking their books' financial records dating back to 2009. CFG also owns Yokohama F. Marinos, a Japanese city in Japan, where Postecoglou coached between 2018 and 2021. Mooy's loan transfer from Manchester City to Huddersfield Town in 2016 has piqued eyebrows.

In Celtic's 4-1 victory over St Johnstone, he was involved in the team's first three goals, scoring the third himself with a stunning lob, but he downplayed his part in the triumph afterwards. Greg Taylor, his colleague and boss Ange Postecoglou (inset), would not let him get away with that, showering the Socceroo with praise for his recent good form.

JOHN ST JOHN STEAM 1-4 CELTIC: JOHN McGARRY (JOHN PARK) - JOHN McGARRY - JOHN McGARRY – AT MCDIARMID PARK: In case it distracts them from their jobs, he will not set points goals for his Celtic players (pictured) this season. If the Australian belatedly decides that such a tactic is required in order for his team to find something extra, Heaven will help the rest of the league. At this point in time, it seems that there are no stops them. Rangers are asking of them by tending to their company, but the answers provided by Postecoglou's men remain resounding. With just 13 games remaining in the league season, it's becoming more difficult to decide where exactly the banana skins are going to come from.

Born in Scotland, but a proud Socceroo - Harry Souttar has always wanted to be different. After signing a $26 million contract with EPL side Leicester City, the 24-year-old is Australia's richest ever footballer (pictured left). Stoke City's World Cup debut in Qatar was anticipated after his superb results for the Socceroos (pictured inset).

After completing a £15 million move to Leicester, Harry Souttar has become the most expensive Australian footballer ever, with the defender completing a five-and-a-half-year contract. As new head Brendan Rodgers' quest to bring more energy and presence to his floundering team's defensive ranks, the centre-back has been courted by the Foxes throughout the winter. "I'm excited to get off,' Souttar said.

Leicester has long been keen on the 6ft7ins centre half and has finally made the switch, with Brendan Rodgers expected to increase his defensive options for the remainder of the season, according to the BBC. Souttar's £15 million bid would smash the record for the highest transfer fee paid to a player from Australia, which was previously held by Socceroos teammate Aaron Mooy after his £10 million transfer to Huddersfield in 2017. Rodgers is desperate to fix his team's defensive frailties, with Southampton conceding more than the 35 goals the Foxes have allowed in so far this season.

After the Australian star's double in his club's 5-0 Scottish Cup loss to Morton, Celtic coach Ange Postecoglou (inset) has lauded the 'outstanding' Aaron Mooy. Since returning from Australia's World Cup campaign, the 32-year-old Socceroos player was named Man of the Match for his outstanding appearance at Celtic Park on Saturday night (AEST).

Celtic 5-0 MORTON: MORTON 5-0: Kyogo Furuhashi surpassed Morton 5-0 in the Scottish Cup, beating him for the 20-goal mark for the campaign. In the fourth-round tie at Celtic Park, the Japanese striker matched his record for the previous season thanks to a first-half double. Aaron Mooy fired a brace and David Turnbull scored his second spectacular goal of the week, but the opener was marred by an extraordinary VAR decision against former Hoops defender Efe Ambrose.
