An ex-Celtic star has spoken of his enduring love for the club and says he hopes to return to Scotland.

Moritz Jenz played for the Hoops on loan for just half a season - but he revealed that the club and the city of Glasgow made a lasting impact on him and his family.

The German centre-back, who now plays for Vfl Wolfsburg, said he 'misses' Scotland and that his son still wears a Celtic strip to watch his dad play for his current team, the Scottish Sun reports.

Glasgow Times:

He said: "We miss Scotland so much. Every week or two we speak about the time in Scotland and our friends in Glasgow.

“Maybe we’ll return sometime to visit or maybe live there, as we really enjoyed the city.

“The people of Scotland were so warm, open and honest. I loved it, so did my wife.

“Indiana [Jenz's son] was close to being Scottish. If I’d stayed at Celtic longer he would have been.

"My wife Stefania is a big Outlander fan, so she was hoping so!

“It would have been cool to have a Scottish son. When I was at Celtic, I went to the fan shop and got the classic strip for every month he was growing until the age of two.

“So he has so many in the house. He comes to the games here wearing it because Wolfsburg play in green and white too.”

Jenz previously spoke of his admiration for Celtic and its fans in an emotional farewell when he departed in January 2023.

He wrote on Instagram: "It’s been for me a fantastic period at the club. I‘m very proud and honoured to have been a part of the Celtic Football Club.

"Like I said at the beginning of my time it was and it has been a dream.

"The fans of Celtic will always have a special place in my heart, they are kind, honest and passionate."
