Celtic stormed to a terrific victory in the Champions League last night against Slovakian outfit Slovan Bratislava.
The Hoops were on top from start to finish, scoring five goals to seal their biggest-ever win in Europe’s premier club competition.
Liam Scales opened the scoring early doors with a bullet header before Kyogo made it two not long into the second half.
Arne Engels then got the third from the spot, and although Kevin Wimmer scored a consolation for the visitors, Daizen Maeda and Adam Idah bagged to give the scoreline more gloss.
There were several standout performers in the Celtic team last night. Scales was solid as ever at centre-half, while German winger Nicolas Kuhn looked lively. Club record signing Engels, though, particularly caught the eye.
The £11m-man has seamlessly slotted into the Scottish Premiership champions’ starting 11 over the past few games and, last night, got a goal and assist alike.
He set up Scales for the opener and subsequently bagged himself with a cool spot-kick.
Engels looks like a special talent, and versus Bratislava, he became the first Celtic player to score a goal and set another up in the same Champions League game since Henrik Larsson did so against Juventus in 2001.
In esteemed company, this finding is a testament to how well the 21-year-old has begun his Hoops career.
There is so much more to come from Engels, but he already looks like a splendid find.
