Such was the impact of the Parkhead crowd, Schweinsteiger named it as he top atmosphere during his career despite never playing there.
Schweinsteiger, who went on to play for Manchester United and Chicago Fire, has only ever been involved in any capacity at Celtic Park once.
He was part of the Bayern Munich side who played a 0-0 draw with Celtic back in 2003, but he was a substitute and never stepped foot on the park.
However, that hasn't dampened his memories of the world-renowned atmosphere at Celtic Park.
Responding to a question over the top away game atmosphere on Twitter, Schweinsteiger wrote: "Celtic Glasgow. This was impressive!!"
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
