Engels was reunited with his former Club Brugge boss ahead of his Old Firm debut
Arne Engels insists he’ll show former mentor Philippe Clement no mercy as he focuses solely on on paying back his bumper Parkhead price tag.
The 21-year-old said: “It was nice to see him. Did he say, ‘Good luck, but not too much good luck?!’ Yes, exactly like that! But it’s always a bit joking. He said it was a good step for me. We spoke a bit about our last years together. Of course he helped me also in my development as a youth player at Brugge. So he was good for me then. But now I am a Celtic player and I will always do everything I can to beat everybody. So, yes, obviously, that is my aim.
“I’m a relaxed guy and I just want to enjoy football, and that’s what I’ve been doing really well, otherwise they would not pay that sort of fee. I think I’m on the right path and making the right steps, and this is the right one for me.” Celtic splashed the cash for Engels but landed one of the most highly-rated young players on the continent. The Belgium cap was attracting plenty of attention across Europe but admitted his heart was quickly sold on Celts.
