A goalscorer against Anderlecht, the English winger admitted he was relishing an opportunity to shine in the Allianz Arena having failed to even make the bench here with Manchester City in 2014.
Still there was some belief in Simunovic, and he was a regular.
Surprisingly Simunovic was freed on 30 May 2020 in the first wave of players to be cut in the wake of the financial hit from the COVID-19 impact.
He managed to grab a goal v Dundee Utd in a 4-1 win which was something to savour.
Maccabi Tel Aviv were also willing to pay £1.
Celtic had accepted a bid of around £300,000 for Ambrose from Belgian top-flight club Standard Liege, but the 27-year-old Nigerian international has decided to remain with Celtic.
With this latest gesture, it just shows he knows what it means to Celtic.
What followed on a day of celebration for the life of McNeill was no mere coincidence, Simunovic claimed.
