Celtic supporters have voiced their frustrations once again after Arne Engels’ latest performance failed to meet the high standards expected of him at the club. The Belgian midfielder, who joined the Bhoys with much anticipation, has been under increasing scrutiny following a series of inconsistent and often lackluster displays. In the aftermath of Celtic’s recent match, Engels was at the heart of a fierce backlash from fans who felt his performance was not only below par but detrimental to the team’s overall balance.
Engels, who has shown glimpses of his potential since his arrival, has yet to deliver consistently, and his latest showing did little to quell growing doubts among the Celtic faithful. The midfielder was criticized for his inability to dictate the tempo, misplaced passes, and lack of impact in key moments during a match that Celtic were expected to dominate. Some fans have gone so far as to question whether Engels is cut out for the rigors of Scottish football, with many feeling that his style of play is not suited to the intensity required in the Scottish Premiership.
One of the primary concerns raised by supporters is Engels’ decision-making and defensive positioning. At times, he has appeared out of sync with his teammates, leaving gaps in midfield and failing to support the attacking play. The criticism has intensified as the season progresses, with many supporters noting that his performances have been underwhelming compared to the likes of Callum McGregor and Matt O’Riley, who have continued to shine in the centre of the park.
While Celtic’s overall squad depth remains impressive, Engels’ struggles have become a point of contention among fans, who have voiced their frustrations on social media and in matchday discussions. Many are now asking whether the midfielder can adapt to the demands of the Celtic shirt or if his time at the club is already running out.
As the pressure mounts, it remains to be seen whether Engels can respond to the criticism and prove his worth in the eyes of the Celtic supporters, or if he will ultimately fade into the background as another high-profile signing that failed to deliver.
