Arne Engels to Celtic transfer handed green light as midfielder set for Scotland

Celtic have reached an agreement with Augsburg for the transfer of midfielder Arne Engels.

Celtic have discovered who they will face in this season’s Champions League.

 

RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund away in front of the iconic yellow wall, Club Brugge, Atalanta, Young Boys, GNK Dinamo, Slovan Bratislava and Premier League side Aston Villa will all take on the Premiership champions in the newly-revamped league phase format.

Teams who finish anywhere between 1st and 8th in the tournament will go straight through to the last 16 while those 9th to 24th take part in knockout play-offs.

The rest are eliminated. Brendan Rodgers’ side earned the right to be back in Europe’s big time through clinching title glory in the league last season. They have finished bottom of their group in back-to-back group stages and they will be keen to do better this time around.

Attentions will quickly turn to Deadline Day, with Augsburg’s Arne Engels possibly to arrive on Deadline Day as a replacement for Matt O’Riley, who has joined Brighton. Rodgers could sign more players on top of that ahead of Sunday’s first derby of the season versus Rangers.
