Matt O'Riley admits it’s crazy to be reunited with long-time mate Moritz Jenz at Parkhead.
But the Danish midfielder is adamant he was no secret agent in the deal which saw them link-up again at Celtic. O’Riley and Jenz were at school when first striking up a friendship during their youth days at Fulham. However, as the pair both understood their futures lay away from Craven Cottage, their paths went very different ways. While O’Riley stayed in England with MK Dons, the German defender headed abroad to kickstart his career. But now they have paired up again after being sourced by Hoops boss Ange Postecoglou.
O’Riley finds it hard to believe as he said: “Football can be crazy sometimes. Things can change so fast and your journey ends up meeting again. I am really friendly with Moritz. We met each other at the age of 14 or 15 at Fulham. We played together for four years and then we both left.
