Arne Engels set for Celtic address after bizarre Belgium quirk as talented duo's exit thrills new club – news bulletin

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Arne Engels is set to talk to the media this afternoon after the Celtic new boy's first camp away with the Belgium senior team was bizarrely cut short.The 21-year-old - who joined the champions for a club record £11million deal on deadline day from Augsburg - did make his bow for the Red Devils off the bench in their 3-1 win against Israel in their Nations League opener on Friday night, where he received a glowing appraisal from Manchester City star and Belgium skipper Kevin De Bruyne after the game.However, Engels was then ineligible to add to his first cap in Monday night's 2-0 defeat to France due to a suspension, which reports in Belgium claim was picked up due to an accumulation of yellow cards picked up from Engels outings in the national side's U21 team.

The suspension oddly only applies to international games which take place within 24 hours of the U21s being in action - either the day before, the same day, or the day after - which was why the versatile midfielder was free to take to the field against Israel and not France, who Belgium face in U21 action on Tuesday night.

He will be back on Tuesday and will meet the media later on. The Club NXT youth graduate is now back on Scottish soil and will address the media today ahead of the Hoops clash with Hearts at Parkhead on Saturday.

Engels made his Celtic debut as a substitute in the 3-0 hammering of bitter rivals Rangers before the international break and will hope to make an impression over the next few weeks to ensure he earns another call-up for Belgium's Nations League double header against Italy and France next month.Elsewhere in Glasgow's East End, two talented youngsters have left the club on loan deals to continue their development.
