Jeremie Frimpong has apologised to a Bayer Leverkusen fan by handing him his shirt after the former Celtic star hit him in the face with a ball.
The right-back accidentally clipped the youngster as he launched the ball into the stands during Saturday's Bundesliga match with Wolfsburg. Frimpong left the fan overwhelmed with emotion through the kind gesture, made sweeter by the full-back - who left Celtic Park in 2021 for a shot at the German side - scoring the leveller during a 1-1 home draw.
His form has been impressive at Leverkusen, coached by Xabi Alonso, and it has resulted in speculation that he could be making his way back to the UK shortly. Manchester United are reportedly interested in him and that may interest Celtic, who hold a sell-on clause in his contract. Frimpong took to Twitter after the game this weekend: "We deserved more today, but we are not giving up."

It's been a good start to the season so far from the 21-year-old, who has netted four times and grabbed two Champions League assists.
Neil Lennon brought the youngster to Glasgow in 2019 from the Manchester City academy and he immediately established himself as a senior player.
Celtic then sold him on for over £10million and if Man United follow up their interest, a healthy sum of money could head to Parkhead.
