Liam Scales has praised his Celtic teammate Arne Engels after an outstanding performance in the club’s Champions League opener against Slovan Bratislava. Engels, Celtic’s record-breaking signing, impressed with his calm and composed play, dominating the midfield and controlling the tempo of the game. His ability to stay unruffled under pressure was especially evident when he confidently scored a penalty, helping to solidify Celtic’s lead.
Scales highlighted Engels’ relaxed demeanor, joking that “if he was any more laid back, he’d be horizontal,” while also emphasizing his quality and rapid adjustment to high-stakes matches. Engels has quickly endeared himself to Celtic fans and his teammates, particularly after standout performances in both the derby against Rangers and the Champions League match against Bratislava.
Scales expressed excitement about playing alongside Engels, noting that the Belgian midfielder’s talent justifies the club’s record transfer fee. Media pundits have also been full of praise, with some, like Gordon Dizel, suggesting Engels is an upgrade on Matt O’Riley, who left Celtic for a £30 million fee this summer. With his composed style and skillful play, Engels is seen as a player who will only continue to improve.
