Arne Engels, Celtic’s record-breaking midfielder, delivered an outstanding performance in the Bhoys’ Premier Sports Cup semi-final triumph over Aberdeen at the weekend.
Brendan Rodgers chose to maintain the Belgium international in his starting lineup following the Hoops’ victory over Dundee last midweek, so there was pressure on him to perform.
Looking back, Arne Engels delivered a brilliant effort against Aberdeen, claiming two assists on a day when Celtic won 6-0 against their closest local rivals this season.
In reality, the defending Scottish Premiership champions were simply too powerful for their opponents. There was a class divide that revealed itself on the pitch, which fans hope will carry over to league play.
Following the weekend’s events, Celtic now have the opportunity to win their first trophy against Rangers, which Engels is eager to participate in.

Now, Engels and his team will concentrate solely on the Bhoys’ Champions League match against RB Leipzig tomorrow, which promises to be an exciting match with a lot on the line.
Celtic gear up for potentially decisive RB Leipzig test
With Leipzig on the horizon, Celtic may take a significant stride forward by securing all three points against Leipzig in their fourth league phase match.
Three matches have provided four points, putting the Bhoys in a good position. The goal is to advance to the elimination playoff rounds, and a seven-point lead at the halfway point would put the Hoops in excellent position to finish the job.
However, their Bundesliga opponents are second in their domestic league following a strong start to the season, so Celtic will need to be at their best to secure a victory.
