OPINION: CELTIC SUPPORTERS NOW HAVE TWO COMPELLING REASONS TO WATCH THE NORWICH GAME.

 

Following recent remarks made by Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou, any Celtic supporters who weren't going to attend the Hoops' last preseason match against Norwich on Saturday may have changed their minds.

According to the Celtic Way, the Hoops manager has stated that recent Celtic newcomers Moritz Jenz and Aaron Mooy will play for the Bhoys in the match because they have been training at Lennoxtown. Giorgios Giakoumaks, a striker, will also play after missing some games because his wife gave birth.

Giakouamkis' return is wonderful news, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him start against Norwich, but the real big news is that the new additions are expected to play.

The Jenz and Mooy update is a reason for fans to attend the game or watch it on television since, to be very honest, it is perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the match.

Fans will be curious to watch how the new Hoops combination performs in their first game for Celtic and whether either of them will perform well enough to play for the Hoops in the upcoming league opener against Aberdeen.

There will be plenty of substitutions, as there always are in preseason friendlies, so it will be interesting to see if Mooy and Jenz start the game for the Bhoys or come off the bench.

Even while neither player now appears set to start for the Hoops in the opening Premiership game of the season, Mooy and Jenz could still make the Celtic team if they both perform well.

The Hoops' season is about to officially begin, so team members will be eager to make a good impression on Ange Postecoglou in their final preseason game. Since they have only recently joined the team, that doesn't really apply to Mooy and Jenz, but if they play against Norwich they will want to do well for the Bhoys to start their Celtic careers off right.

The Hoops will aim to finish the run of games on a high note before the real action starts because Celtic are unbeaten thus far in preseason. It appears like Mooy and Jenz will have the opportunity to keep the Bhoys unblemished while also making an early case for playing time with the first squad.
