Aaron Mooy has been impressive over the past few weeks in a Celtic jersey and has admitted that the football the Hoops are playing is a joy.

Ange Postecoglou knows the Australian international very well and was keen to bring someone of his expertise and talent to the club during the summer.

With Callum McGregor missing from action due to an injury sustained against RB Leipzig, it has given the former Brighton midfielder a chance to get some minutes under his belt, which he has desperately needed.

Many expected the 32-year-old to play the pivotal role in midfield, but with Matt O’Riley having to fill the big boots of Callum McGregor, it has given Mooy a chance to play just in front of O’Riley with both players complementing each other extremely well.

He was a standout for the Hoops at the weekend in the 6-1 victory over Hibs and was fantastic in the cup win over Motherwell. Mooy is a very tidy player who brings calmness to the midfield as well as a terrific range of passing which he has at his disposal.

“It was a good game, we played well and created lots of chances so it was a good night,” said Aaron Mooy speaking to Celtic TV. 

“We’re playing well at the moment and scoring goals so we are just looking forward to the next match, so we need to recover and go again.

“I’m enjoying things, it’s going well and I’ve been working hard and waiting for more starts.

‘I’m happy with the way it’s gone and I’m enjoying playing with the boys and playing good football.’

“It’s hard work but it’s enjoyable when it’s coming off and hopefully I can get fitter and improve.

“There’s always more from everybody, not just myself and it’s good to get more minutes and play more.”

Like many of his other teammates, it has taken some a little while longer to get up to speed, but as the games have come thick and fast, Celtic have risen to the challenge with the squad looking really healthy.
