The energy at Celtic Park when Rangers come to visit is incomparable, known to even intimidate the best of players. With 60,000 passionate fans in the stadium, the atmosphere can be overwhelming for any opposing team.
On Sunday, the atmosphere was truly special, even leaving former Rangers player Barry Ferguson feeling the weight of it as he watched from the director’s box. For new Celtic signing, Arne Engels, stepping onto the field at Celtic Park was an awe-inspiring experience that he will not soon forget.
Engels, who made a substitute appearance in the match against Rangers, described the support from the Celtic fans as ‘incredible’ and ‘beautiful’. He expressed his admiration for the club and its dedicated supporters, noting the difference of playing for a top-tier club like Celtic.
While the Glasgow Derby atmosphere is unmatched, Engels has yet to experience the electrifying atmosphere of a Champions League night at Celtic Park. With four home ties in the tournament, he will have the chance to witness more magical moments as the team aims to progress to the next phase under the guidance of manager Brendan Rodgers.
