Moritz Jenz celebrations with Celtic fans should have seen him off says former ref

Moritz Jenz should have had a red card to go along with his Celtic debut goal, according to an ex-ref.

The big defender was drafted into the starting lineup away to Ross County after Stephen Welsh was ruled out through illness. And Jenz came up trumps for his new team with less than ten minutes remaining, heading the Hoops back in front after Alex Iacovitti had cancelled out Kyogo Furuhashi’s opener.

Liel Abada sealed the win in stoppage time as Ange Postecoglou 's side made it two wins from their opening two Premiership fixtures. But one former whistler believes Jenz should be sitting in the stands after the next two games because he jumped in to join the fans during his celebrations. The laws of the game state that any player leaving the pitch and entering the crowd should be cautioned. Given Jenz had already been booked, that would have seen him sent for an early bath.
