WE MUST PROTECT ENGELS
Scottish Daily Express
|May 08, 2025
CALLUM MCGREGOR has vowed the Celtic dressing room will "protect" Arne Engels and accused his critics of forgetting how young the Belgian is.
Engels arrived from Augsburg in August for a club record £11million little more than a week before his 21st birthday.
He has netted 10 times from midfield in his debut season but has also received flak in some quarters for his overall contribution despite being a regular starter.
However, captain McGregor railed against the criticism with the strongest of rebuttals as he stood behind his team-mate with an emphatic defence of what he has brought to Parkhead.
Engels played an hour of last Sunday's 1-1 draw with Rangers at Ibrox and the mixed reviews over his display summed up how he is viewed by fans and pundits.
But McGregor said: “He was excellent. What everyone forgets is he is still such a young player.

Labour inaction lets inflation and shop prices spiral again
YOU MAY have heard that inflation is up. No, this isn't a rerun from last year. It really is up. Again. So much for the “fiscal discipline” and “costed plans” Rachel Reeves bleated on about when she was soliciting votes like a beggar with a tin can. The reality has come to bite: high inflation is back and it's here to stay. And it's ordinary people - working families, renters and small businesses - who are paying the price for this Government's stubborn refusal to change course.
