Breaking news; Arne Engels sends ‘great’ message to Celtic fans after key development.

Celtic midfielder Arne Engels took to social media to celebrate “Another great night at the Park” following their 2-0 Scottish Premier League victory over Dundee United on Wednesday (January 8).

The 21-year-old played 80 minutes against Dundee United as Brendan Rodgers’ team recorded their 18th win in 21 league games this season. Engels shined on the pitch, finishing with 81 touches, an 85% pass accuracy percentage, and three opportunities created. Daizen Maeda of Japan opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, grabbing upon the Dundee United goalkeeper’s parry of Luke McGowan’s first effort.

Rangers, in second place, have the chance to narrow the deficit at the top to 13 points if they beat Dundee FC on Thursday (January 9).
