Aaron Mooy enjoyed a very impressive World Cup, performing exceptionally well for Australia as they qualified for the last 16 of the tournament.

And the midfielder has continued that great form since returning to club action with Celtic, playing his part in the team’s four wins since the league has restarted after the break.

Now the 32-year-old has added goals to his contribution, netting twice in the 4-0 victory over Hibernian at Easter Road, including one from the penalty spot.

Speaking to Celtic TV after the game, which maintains Celtic’s nine-point lead at the top of the table, Aaron Mooy said: “It’s an amazing feeling to get my first goals for the club. I’ve had a few chances in other games but it feels great to see one hit the net.

'You don’t score goals unless you get into those positions, so I try and take that on board and get in position and hit the targets, and one of them went in tonight.'

“I have been (a penalty taker) in the past for different clubs, although not for a while, so it was good.

“Hopefully I’m improving all the time. That’s what you want to do. Obviously, when you join everything’s new, and systems are a bit different, and new players, so it’s a lot and sometimes it doesn’t always happen straight away.

“But you just keep going and keep trying to get better and hopefully I can keep improving and help the team.

“Playing in the World Cup – leading up to it, it was always in the back of your head, because you just want to get into that squad and experience it again for me, because that was my second one.

“It’s an amazing thing to do and I’m proud of that, but it’s behind me now and now I’m just looking forward to trying to help the team.”
