ITZ A KNOCKOUT

German defender Jenz heads home a key goal on debut

- SCOTT MCDERMOTT

MORITZ JENZ says it was a dream come true to score on his Celtic debut and jump into the crowd to celebrate.

The big German defender popped up with a vital header against Ross County in Dingwall with just six minutes to go.

Ange Postecoglou's side had been pegged back to 1-1 when Alex Iacovitti cancelled out Kyogo Furuhashi's opener.

But Jenz was the Hoops' unlikely hero with a bullet header before jumping into the Celtic away support to celebrate.

Liel Abada clinched the three points in injury time by making it 3-1.

Jenz admitted afterwards that he's always dreamt of scoring at a British ground and jumping into the crowd.

He said: "It was amazing to play my first game in front of a fantastic away crowd.

"And then to score, it was like a dream come true.

"Of course, you must have a good relationship with the fans because they back you up even in difficult moments.

"Today was difficult, we were pushed to the end, and they helped us.
