Arne Engels is set to make his debut in Brendan Rodgers’ lineup as Celtic takes on Ross County in the Scottish Premiership.

In an interview with Sky Sports before the match, the 21-year-old expressed his thoughts on the previous game, stating, “Tuesday was a tough one to take. We analyzed the game, and Dortmund performed well, creating space effectively with their speed upfront. We need to learn from it and focus on today’s match. Sunday is a new beginning, and we are aiming for another victory.”
Reflecting on his adaptation to Celtic and Scottish football, Engels shared, “The experience has been amazing. All the matches have been exciting, and I feel settled in. I am looking forward to further improvement. The team spirit is fantastic, and I am enjoying every moment here.”
Regarding his performance in the Scottish game, Engels mentioned, “I believe the style of play in Scotland suits me well. The matches have met my expectations, but there is always room for improvement. I am young and continue to work hard to enhance my skills. My focus is on contributing to the team’s success and enjoying the game.”
