JASON DENAYER believes he can fly high with Belgium - after belting out a chart hit as his initiation song.
The Celtic centre-half, who is on loan at Parkhead this term from Manchester City, was called up to Marc Wilmots' squad to face Andorra and Bosnia in Euro qualifying action.
And after joining up with his national team-mates on Monday, the 19-year-old has revealed his bizarre choice of tune to sing on his first trip for his country.
He said: "I chose 'I believe I can fly' by R. Kelly. I'm still a bit nervous, haunted for several days through my head.
"For the training itself, I was not really stressed, because with Divock Origi, Adnan Januzaj, Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco and Romelu Lukaku I already knew a few guys.
"I read last week that I was selected and so I was still a little surprised. I had thought that I would be called first for a friendly."
