The Belgian midfielder, who arrived at Celtic Park in the summer from Eupen for a reported £6.5 million, insists that he is fully focused on his role at the club and the opportunity to contribute to the team’s success. Despite the weight of expectation that accompanies such a significant transfer, Engels says he feels calm and confident in his ability to thrive in Glasgow.
Engels acknowledged the vital role played by Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers in his smooth transition to the club. He described Rodgers as a key figure in helping him adapt to the tactical demands of Scottish football, with the coach’s guidance enabling him to quickly settle into the team. According to Engels, Rodgers’ experience and understanding of the game have been crucial in building his confidence.
Equally important, Engels has received considerable support from Celtic’s captain, Callum McGregor. The midfielder praised McGregor’s leadership both on and off the pitch, noting that the Scotland international has helped him adjust to the club’s culture and expectations. Engels highlighted McGregor’s communication and constant encouragement, which have made a significant difference in his development since arriving in Glasgow.
While adapting to a new league and environment can be challenging, Engels is determined to show that he is worth the investment. With the backing of Rodgers and McGregor, he feels assured that he can handle the pressure and meet the high standards expected at Celtic. Engels is excited about the future and eager to play a crucial part in Celtic’s pursuit of success under Rodgers’ management.
