John Collins says Celtic must not cash in on key duo Alistair Johnston and Arne Engels until after their Champions League play-off. Martin O'Neill's side face LASK in Europe later this month, having failed at the same stage against Kazakh side Kairat Almaty last term. Canada right-back Johnston is wanted by Everton, while Celtic have turned down a bid from West Ham for Belgium midfielder Engels.
If you asked any football supporter if they'd rather play well and lose or play poorly and win they would take the latter every single time. Aberdeen struggled at times in their league opener against Hearts on Saturday evening and looked to be heading for defeat before a spectacular turnaround as the walls began closing in on them. Given there were 40 points between the two clubs last season, bridging that gap just two months later was going to be a challenge for Stephen Robinson but it was one he overcame thanks to those late salvos from Lewis Mayo and Kevin Nisbet.
The click is ticking towards Celtic's most important games of the season. The first leg of the Champions League play-off against LASK takes place at Parkhead on 19 August and the squad is in urgent need of reinforcements, with strikers Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh the only new arrivals this summer. Paulo Bernardo's loan exit on Tuesday night was the 17th departure from the first-team squad, while Arne Engels and Alistair Johnston are being pursued by West Ham and Everton respectively.
Celtic are pushing for a deal to sign Fares Ghedjemis from Frosinone, who want 9.5m euros for the Algeria winger, 23. President Maurizio Stirpe says Frosinone do not need to sell Ghedjemis but the Italian club are willing to listen to offers. Celtic and Rangers, who have also been linked with Ghedjemis, would need to part with an eight-figure fee to secure the winger.
Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers admits he is still "a work in progress" after returning to action following almost nine months out with an Achilles injury. The USA international made his comeback in Monday's season-opening 1-0 victory against Dundee and while delighted to be back on the pitch, he says there's improvements to come from himself and the team. Martin O'Neill's side are two weeks away from their crucial Champions League play-off against Austrians LASK and have opted to postpone their Premiership game at St Johnstone that was due to be played between the two legs.
Despite what many view as a wildly successful 2026 FIFA World Cup, the tenure of FIFA President Gianni Infantino seems to grow more tenuous by the day. And two new stories may just be the tipping point. In the wake of the World Cup, word emerged that Infantino was floating a plan to sell stakes […]
Seventy-one days after Celtic were last in competitive action, the champions finally returned as Martin O'Neill's side opened the new campaign with a 1-0 win over Dundee on flag night at Celtic Park. The scoreline mirrored last season's opening-day victory over St Mirren, played exactly a year earlier. Much of the pre-match excitement surrounded Celtic's two - and only - new arrivals as Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh made their competitive debuts.
After his first outing for Celtic, record signing Kasper Hogh joked that he needs some "shooting practice". The Denmark international played the full game as Martin O'Neill's side beat Dundee 1-0 at Parkhead to kick off their Premiership title defence. Having cost a reported £11m from Bodo/Glimt, Hogh will ultimately be judged on goals but he was unable to get off the mark at the first time of asking, although it is clearly too early to judge a player who only joined last week.
Celtic will face LASK in the Champions League play-off round later this month, and Martin O'Neill wants to keep two key players until then. The post O’Neill hopes Engels and Johnston stay for Celtic’s Champions League qualifiers appeared first on SoccerNews.
Martin O'Neill hopes Celtic can keep Arne Engels and Alistair Johnston for the Champions League play-off against Austrian champions LASK.

Celtic will play at home in the first leg on 18/19 August, with the return game the following week.
