His journey began with a penalty against Hearts, and he demonstrated his composure again from the spot during the team’s 5-0 win over Slovan Bratislava. Recently, there have been discussions about whether the club should invest more in new players. While fans were disappointed to see Matt O’Riley leave for £30 million, they were more focused on how that money would be spent.

Andy Walker expressed skepticism about Celtic’s willingness to spend significantly and was surprised by Engels’ £11 million transfer. He acknowledged that he underestimated the midfielder, who has quickly adapted to his new role at the club. Walker noted that Celtic seems willing to allow Rodgers to make big signings, which may not have been the case with previous managers.

Walker commented on Engels’ reputation and quick adjustment, stating, “He has been effective since getting the shirt.” He highlighted Engels’ potential for goals and key passes, emphasizing his physicality and energy. Walker concluded that Engels embodies the type of player fans have wanted the club to sign, showing that Celtic is ready to invest under Rodgers in hopes of achieving greater success in Europe and restoring the club’s respectability.
