Marco Tilio in Celtic vow ahead of return from loan spell
But his impressive form in Australia saw him win a surprise international recall to the Socceroos earlier this year.

And he's revealed he's been keeping in close contact with his Hoops bosses.
Tilio said: "If I'm being completely honest, I think I'm in a better position now than I was back then when I first went to Celtic.
"I've matured a lot in the last couple of years. I had my first injury going over to Scotland and pretty much ridden all those waves, and here I am now.

"We're back and forth in conversation.
"Since I moved to Celtic, I've just been looking to find consistent game time, consistently in playing and in my body feeling confident in that again.
'Here I am now in that position, and I'm really glad where I am.
"I've found it hard to find consistency over the last couple of years with injury problems. Now I think I have found consistency and confidence and I believe in myself when I'm in this sort of position.
