Premier League winner shares Celtic love as Parkhead goosebumps explained ahead of possible return

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has revisited his love for Celtic as he took to social media to praise the Parkhead atmosphere.

The German international to the Celtic Park pitch in 2016 as the Citizens squared off with the Hoops in Champions League action. Ange Postecoglou's side are back on that frontier this season and such raucous occasions are coming back to Glasgow. Gundogan's last visit left a huge impression on him and it's one that he remembers to this day.

When he was asked on Twitter which team he loves to play against, the response was pretty emphatic when it came to the green and white side: 'I really loved the atmosphere against Celtic at Celtic Park in 2016 - that was amazing.' The number eight featured for the entirety of that match almost six years ago that ended in a frantic 3-3 scoreline.

Moussa Dembele netted two on the night for the home side in a game that stood at 2-2 before half-time.

Gundogan is previously quoted as saying that the 60,000 strong support for Celtic 'still gives him goosebumps' so his affection is not unknown.

He will be hoping that the pair are drawn against each other once more, with Premier League champions Man City in pot 1 of the Champions League group draw and Celtic in pot 4.
