Moritz Jenz doesn’t yet have a song from the Celtic support but he seems well pleased with his nick-name.
Using similar thinking to calling the Celtic goalkeeper ‘Sacred’ the on-loan defender is known as Mercedes to some supporters.
Yesterday’s media conference went along predictable lines with a strong focus on the introduction of VAR until, with time running out, one of the supporters in on the Zoom call went a bit left field.
8 minutes 55 seconds
Asked about his nick-name he asked if it was good, when he got told the reply the defender was well pleased:
Yes, it’s good. Mercedes Jenz.
Mercedes will have an early start to Saturday with Celtic involved in a 12.30 kick off against Hearts in front of the Sky Sports cameras with VAR in operation.
After scoring 10 goals in their last two matches Ange Postecoglou’s side are strong favourites for today’s match with Mercedes expected in central defence alongside CCV.
The hearts players will be out to injure and cheat the day let’s play them of the park. VAR was introduced last night and the ‘ranger’s’ got 3 penalties and there game don’t kick off to 15:00 the day!!!!
