Jozo Simunovic has been reflecting on his winning goal against Kilmarnock, which will go down as one of the most memorable goals in Celtic history.
In the week of Billy McNeill’s death the Hoops’ current number five scored the winning as the clocked struck 67 minutes.
Meant a lot to the player
It was a moment which clearly meant a lot to the Hoops centre-half, as he explained to the official Celtic Twitter account.
“My favourite moment in a Celtic jersey. I believed it was going to be a special day.”
It was a moment that Simunovic has deserved after some good performances in recent weeks. He has seamlessly replaced Dedryck Boyata in the Hoops backline.
Partnership worth persevering with
His partnership with Kristoffer Ajer has yet to see a goal scored against it so far. It could prove to be a partnership that the Hoops could persevere with for the upcoming Champions League qualifiers.
However, when people look back at Simunovic’s Celtic career in the years to come, the goal against Kilmarnock will go down as the most memorable moment of his Hoops career.
It could even go down as one of the most famous goals in Celtic’s history.
In the record books it will go down as 1-0 win over Kilmarnock. But those who witnessed the goal will remember it as something much bigger than that.
