Jozo Simunovic took another step towards legendary status after taking part in a Q and A session on twitter.
Twelve days after Celtic’s 5-1 win at Ibrox the one incident that fans are still talking about is Simunovic’s first half tackle on Kenny Miller.
“Honest to God,” Miller sighed afterwards as he relived the tackle that defined the match.
Despite being on home territory, despite being in the Celtic half the veteran striker was always going to come out second best as he came sight of the hoops defender coming in for the ball.

Taking evasive action Miller leapt out of the way of Simunovic, turned over in mid-air before landing on his back while looking round for a free kick.
Referee John Beaton had a perfect view of the incident and waved play on as Celtic raced to the other end of the park with Leigh Griffiths hitting the woodwork.
Since that moment Simunovic’s standing among the Celtic support has gone through the roof with various tributes paid online.
Judging by his answers in today’s Q and A the giant Croatian is quite comfortable with his new status among the Celtic support.
