Celtic defender Moritz Jenz looks set to make his loan move permanent because he reckons playing for the Hoops is like a religion after being swarmed by workers at six in the morning. The 23-year-old German defender is on a season-long loan from French outfit Lorient and has impressed with his displays so far.
And he has admitted he's loving life at Celtic as he raved about the club's supporters. He said: "It was important to me from the start to establish close contact with the fans because they support this club and make it something special. When you wear the shirt, you are not playing for yourself, you are playing to be a part of Celtic's history of success.
" Celtic is old school, Celtic is mysterious, Celtic is pure football and above all Celtic is a religion. When you stand at a home game, close your eyes and get goosebumps just from the chants, you know why this club fascinates the world. Scottish football is extremely physical. From my point of view, the strikers are very hard. Trash talk and concealed kicks against any part of the body are apparently normal in Scotland. So I had to learn how to take action! We are characterised by a really great unity. When we say we're a team, we prove that out on the pitch. All of us want to play for Celtic and have a winning mentality When we stand in the tunnel, we promise ourselves to stand up for each other like a wall.
