ARNE AMBITION CAN BE PAIN IN NECK FOR CONTINENTAL RIVALS
Scottish Daily Express
|July 21, 2025
ARNE Engels enjoyed stuffing Newcastle into the Parkhead hurt locker at the weekend.
And it's given the Belgian a taste for inflicting more pain in the Champions League.
The Hoops are still a work in progress in preseason but the confidence levels are soaring after sparkling displays in defeating Sporting Lisbon and the Magpies without conceding.
Eddie Howe's Newcastle brought 10,000 fans north on Saturday - and they expected to see their Champions League-bound English Premier League giants give Celtic a sore one.
Instead they were sent home in shock by a lethal 4-0 win from Brendan Rodgers' Bhoys in the inaugural Adidas Trophy.
Seeing off top qualify opposition has only whetted the appetite for Engels - and he's keen to make sure Celtic make the big time when the qualifying playoff arrives next month.
The midfielder - who notched from the spot against the Magpies - said: "That's a big goal, to reach the Champions League.
"In a few weeks, there are really big games coming up.
"It's up to us to now get physically ready for that. I'm sure we'll do great in those games.

IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR
A little goes a very long way in the third chapter of director James Cameron's blockbusting franchise. Avatar: Fire And Ash is a masterclass in candyfloss storytelling, expertly fluffing around an hour of linear plot and character development into more than three hours of jaw-dropping visual spectacle that continues to push the envelope for performance capture technology.
