Forgotten Celtic loanee Marco Tilio is continuing to impress with Melbourne City.
The 23-year-old registered another assist for his side on Saturday as they drew 2-2 with Western Sydney.
Celtic initially signed Tilio from Melbourne, although his first few months in Glasgow's east end didn't go particularly to plan.

He made just two senior appearances and returned to Australia on loan last February.
His temporary spell at Melbourne has continued into the current campaign, and in recent weeks and months, Tilio has caught the eye.
He picked up an assist on Friday, brilliantly setting up Kai Trewin with a teasing corner delivery:

Tilio has contributed to six goals in his last eight appearances. The winger is finding form in tandem with the end of the season.
It remains to be seen what lies ahead for him this summer, when he is due to return to Celtic. Tilio is contracted at the Parkhead club until at least 2028.
Brendan Rodgers opened up on the attacker after he enjoyed a stop-start beginning to life in Glasgow: "It’s been a really, really hard transition for him," he said.
"The intensity of the game is totally different to what he is used to, so it’s been a challenge for him in training.
"I am not in any big rush for Marco." Tilio has two games left at Melbourne before he returns to Celtic this summer.
