Jozo Šimunović (Croatian pronunciation: ; born 4 August 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Celtic.
Šimunović started playing football at age of 7 in his village, Gornja Lomnica. At the age of 12 he joined Dinamo Zagreb from Hrvatski Dragovoljac.
Šimunović made his debut for Dinamo Zagreb on 16 March 2013 against Istra 1961, coming as a 90th-minute substitute. On 30 March 2013, he scored his first goal for Dinamo against Zadar. He played the whole game in Dinamo's 4–2 win on penalty kicks over RNK Split in the 2015 Croatian Cup Final on 20 May 2015.
On 1 September 2015, Šimunović joined Scottish Premiership side Celtic for an undisclosed fee. He made his debut on 17 September, playing in Celtic's 2–2 draw away against Ajax in the Europa League, and had a good game. A ankle injury shortly afterwards and the team's erratic form, however, hindered Šimunović's attempts to make much impact at his new club. On 15 January 2016, Šimunović scored his first goal for Celtic in a 4–1 victory over Dundee United, but suffered knee ligament damage just a week later and was ruled out for six weeks; however, it was announced on 26 March that, following a knee operation, he would in fact be out for the rest of the season. The player also revealed that, prior to the operation, he had been playing with a fractured right knee for six weeks: "I know it seems weird that I could play with this injury. But everything was down to psychology - and the atmosphere on the pitch was phenomenal. When you play for a great club like Celtic you can play even with a fractured bone."
