CELTIC midfielder Tom Rogic and Hibernian striker Jamie Maclaren have been named in Australia's preliminary World Cup squad. 

Socceroos coach Bert van Marwijk announced a 32-man selection on Monday ahead of next month's showpiece event in Russia. 

And Rogic, who has been capped 31 times by his country, is one of nine midfielders to earn a call-up.

The 25-year-old was ruled out for three months with a knee injury between December and February but has made a big contribution to another successful season at Parkhead, scoring eight goals in 38 appearances. 

Striker Maclaren has been rewarded for his excellent form at Easter Road as he bids to add to his five senior caps. 

The Darmstadt forward joined Neil Lennon's side on loan in January and has made an impact in the capital, finding the net five times in 13 league outings. 

He last featured for his country in a World Cup qualifier against Thailiand in May 2017 but is in the running to earn a seat on the plane to Russia.

Former Ross County star Jackson Irvine and ex-St Mirren star Aaron Mooy have also made the cut, along with 38-year-old veteran striker Tim Cahill. 

The Socceroos were drawn in Group C alongside Denmark, France and Peru and face the French in their opening game on 16 June in Kazan.

They then take on Denmark in Samara on 21 June and finally Peru in Sochi on 26 June as they look to make amends for a 2014 campaign in which they lost every game in the group stage.
