The development of Arne Engels took another huge step forward last night when he started in the Belgium side against Italy in the Nations League.
The team sheet for the match was loaded with players from Europe’s leading clubs with the Celtic man in good company with four appearances this season in the Champions League.
After coming on as a substitute against Israel and France, Belgian boss Dominic Tedesco gave the midfielder his first international start.

When Engels made the switch from Bundesliga side Augsburg to the SPFL there were a few sceptics questioning the decision.
Not that he needs to prove himself but last night’s competitive debut for Belgium reinforces the view that Celtic was the perfect step for him as his career development accelerates.
Engels appeared to suffer an injury that saw him substituted in the 72nd minute.
Two years ago Engels was playing for Club NXT (Club Brugge reserves) in the Belgian Second Division, doing enough to attract a cut price transfer to Augsburg.
Starting 32 Bundesliga matches last season was everything that a 20-year-old midfielder could ask for with Augsburg pocketing a £10m profit when they sold the midfielder to Celtic in August.
Engels made a stunning start to life at Celtic, dipped a little but his quality was obvious in the League Cup semi-final win over Aberdeen followed by the Champions League victory over RB Leipzig.
Next up for Belgium is a trip to Budapest to play Israel on Monday, after that he returns to Celtic for the SPFL clash away to Hearts followed up by an intriging reunion with Club Brugge in the Champions League.
