Kris Commons insists Aaron Mooy's emergence as a key figure at Celtic is a reminder of the importance to allow players time to settle at Parkhead.

The Australian midfielder has become a mainstay in Ange Postecoglou's side. 

Since the World Cup break, the 32-year-old has established himself as a regular starter, contributing with plenty of goals, assists and performance more importantly, control.

In that time, Mooy has become somewhat of a fans' favourite among the Hoops faithful.

Commons is loving watching the Aussie international, insisting that he is another beneficiary of working under Postecoglou.

And the pundit says Mooy has become worthy of picking up the nickname his fellow countryman, Tom Rogic, once had at Celtic.

He wrote in his Daily Mail column: "Mooy has come back from the tournament in Qatar like a player reborn. He's been a midfield maestro for Postecoglou's side over recent weeks.

"Masterful with his use of the ball, he's also capable of magical little touches like the lovely dinked finish against St Johnstone in Perth yesterday.

"He's now got six goals in his last nine games in a run which stretches back to late December. Mooy's class is shining through after a slow start in Glasgow. Let's not forget, this was a player who was excelling in the English Premier League only a few years ago.

"Mooy is 32 years old now, but he's clearly still got a lot to offer at the highest level. You can't underestimate just how big Postecoglou's influence has been. He knows him inside out from their days together with the Australian national team. He's now getting the very best out of him.

"Only a few months ago, I think most Celtic fans would have agreed that the club's strongest midfield trio in the manager's 4-3-3 system would have been McGregor, Hatate and O'Riley. Now, I'm not so sure. On current form, I think Mooy would have to be in the strongest starting XI. I think the best midfield three right now is McGregor, Hatate and Mooy.

"It just shows you that people shouldn't be so quick to write players off, even if they have a slow start to life in Glasgow. Some people take time to get up to speed. Postecoglou deserves a lot of credit for the way in which he has helped Mooy get back up to full speed.

"It's another case of his man-management and recruitment skills being top notch. Mooy was highly influential once again in Perth yesterday as Celtic continued their outstanding run of form.

"Celtic are relentless at the moment. For all that Rangers have improved recently under Michael Beale, it's hard to see Celtic dropping points any time soon.

"Mooy has been key to that run of form over the past couple of months. Tom Rogic used to be known as the 'Magic Man' at Parkhead. We're now seeing another Aussie midfielder who looks like he would be worthy of that particular title."
