James McFadden presents his assessment of Arne Engels at Celtic, while Brendan Rodgers’ hierarchy is addressed.
Brendan Rodgers’ pecking order is addressed as James McFadden reveals his verdict on Arne Engels at Celtic.In the midst of competition for positions in
the engine room, Celtic midfielder Arne Engels put on a positive performance against Dundee in midweek, as he endeavors to secure a starting position under Brendan Rodgers. After being spared in the Bhoys’ victory at Motherwell last week, the Belgium international was reintroduced and played alongside Luke McCowan and Paulo Bernardo at Parkhead.Kyogo Furuhashi was fouled by Antonio Portales moments after Alistair Johnston opened the scoring on the night, which allowed Arne Engels to score against Dundee from the penalty spot to complete an impressive display. The manager is currently engaged in a debate regarding the composition of his midfield three, which will be in effect for the upcoming fixtures, including the match against Aberdeen tomorrow, as well as the upcoming weeks. This serves to substantiate his argument. In light of recent developments, James McFadden has rendered his assessment of Engels’ position in the Celtic midfield.
James McFadden’s assessment of Celtic midfielder Arne Engels McFadden, who was interviewed on Open Goal, believes that the emergence of Luke McCowan in the Celtic midfield may complicate matters for Engels. However, he still believes that Rodgers is likely to select the Belgian in significant matches despite his £11 million price tag. He elaborated, “I believe McCowan has performed exceptionally well since joining the team. He has patiently awaited his opportunity and has secured it. Let’s keep him in.” It would be a significant decision to exclude Engels; however, he is a youthful player and cannot be given a game on a consistent basis. “It is a semi-final, so he is also one of those players who will (Rodgers) think, ‘I have spent a fortune on him.’ I need to play him in the big games.” Additionally, it is important to consider that McCowan is cup-tied for Celtic against Aberdeen as a result of his previous participation in the competition against Dundee. Arne Engels’ influence at Celtic persists. Despite unwarranted criticism from certain quarters, Engels has made a fine early impression at Celtic, despite the fact that his sizeable fee is likely to modify perceptions somewhat. Ultimately, he is 21 years old and has not yet surpassed 100 senior appearances in his brief career. Nevertheless, he is a fully-fledged Belgium international, which is why he was worth double-digits in the summer transfer market.
The Dendermonde-born individual has made a promising start to his career with three goals and three assists in 11 fixtures. He will be resolute in his pursuit of continued success under Brendan Rodgers.
