Arne Engels insists Celtic pressure is no problem as record signing lifts lid on Brendan Rodgers and Callum McGregor help

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Arne Engels did his bit to promote the Celtic Paradise Windfall lottery yesterday. But it’s the fortunes splashed out on the record signing himself that never seems to be far from the punters’ lips.Two words beginning with P - pressure and pricetag - follow the midfielder around as closely as Kilmarnock duo Liam Donnelly and Liam Polworth did in Saturday’s Scottish Cup win.

Indeed some Hoops fans are still to be convinced the £11million shelled out for his services in the summer was a gamble that is likely to pay off.Harsh perhaps on a 21-year-old who is learning a new way of playing and experiencing for the first time a club that is expected to win every time they cross the line.

But the big bucks Belgian insists he’s not feeling the ‘p’. He’s wise enough to avoid social media. He generally steers clear of any media in a bid to keep focus.Now, with Champions League millions up for grabs when Young Boys visit Parkhead tomorrow night, he knows it’s another stage where the former FC Augsburg star is expected to prove his worth.Yet the big question ahead of the team sheet dropping is whether the marquee signing will make the starting XI.

He had to make do with a spot on the bench last time out in the 0-0 draw at Dinamo Zagreb. Just as he did for the last two Old Firm clashes at Ibrox and in the league Cup Final.But after that spell where Brendan Rodgers took him out his starting XI, Engels is back enjoying some of his best football since moving to the east end of Glasgow.For that he gives kudos to the manager and the daily advice of his captain and midfield colleague Callum McGregor.
