New Celtic signing Arne Engels would ‘love’ his Robbie Williams-inspired chant to gain traction.
The midfielder joined the Scottish Premiership champions on transfer deadline day, penning a four-year deal at Parkhead. For £11m, Engels became the club’s record signing.
He has already made his Hoops bow, coming on for the closing stages of the most recent Glasgow derby.
The 21-year-old, whose birthday was on Sunday, has since been away on international duty with Belgium.
He made his first senior cap for his country against Israel last week before having to return home early amidst a suspension issue which carried over from his time with the under-21s.
Engels is now fully focused on Celtic ahead of three crucial home games in a row.
The Hoops’ new number 27 will look to adorn himself to the Parkhead faithful in matches versus Hearts, Slovan Bratislava, and Falkirk over the next week and a half.
Doing so would go a long way in getting the fans to sing his song which has been doing the rounds on social media.
Indeed, around the time Engels signed for Celtic, several supporters suggested that the lyrics to Robbie Williams’ ‘Angels’ be changed to ‘I’m loving Engels instead’.
The player himself would love to hear said song from the terraces on matchdays.
“I saw some comments about that under my picture [on social media],” he said (The Herald).
“That would be really nice, I’d love that! It would be amazing.”
Perhaps the Celtic fans may grant Engels his wish and serenade him if and when he appears in Saturday’s game against the Jambos.
