The record £11m signing Augsburg was as good as advertised against the Jambos and showed his quality from the spot.
It seems like Arne Engels made quite an impression in Celtic’s victory against Hearts, showing his class with a cool penalty finish despite some mind games from Hearts captain Lawrence Shankland. Shankland tried to rattle Engels by shouting remarks like “big pressure” and referencing his £11 million transfer fee, the second biggest in Scottish football history since Tore Andre Flo’s move 24 years ago. However, Engels stayed composed, converting his penalty perfectly, leaving Hearts’ goalkeeper Craig Gordon with no chance.
Hearts were frustrated by a VAR decision overturning their own penalty, adding to their struggles as they remain at the bottom of the Premiership table. Meanwhile, Celtic’s win keeps their perfect league record intact, giving Brendan Rodgers plenty to smile about as they prepare for their Champions League match against Slovan Bratislava.
Rodgers emphasized the importance of maintaining focus in the league, recognizing the high expectations at Celtic. While the domestic front is crucial, he also acknowledged the challenge of competing at the highest level in Europe, signaling that this is the next step for the team.
