Martin O'Neill is preparing for Celtic's Scottish Premiership opener, but he revealed Alistair Johnston and Arne Engels have drawn interest. The post O’Neill confirms approaches for Celtic duo Johnston and Engels appeared first on SoccerNews.
Martin O'Neill is sure new signings Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh can combine to good effect at Celtic, while suggesting it may require a move away from the 4-3-3 formation favoured by the Scottish champions. Both players operate as central strikers, while Duran, who has scored three goals in three friendly outings, was occasionally deployed as a winger by former club Qarabag. "I would think that, given time, the two players should be able to play together without a problem," said manager O'Neill.
Motherwell have submitted an appeal against a £5000 fine from the Scottish FA for a social media post criticising the decision to award Celtic a stoppage-time penalty at Fir Park in May. On what was the penultimate round of Premiership fixtures, Kelechi Iheanacho converted from the spot for a 3-2 victory after Sam Nicholson was penalised for handball. Motherwell released a video with the caption: "As the world of football mocks our game, we simply have to draw a line in the sand and shift the focus."
Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has been talking to the media before Monday's Scottish Premiership opener against Dundee. O'Neill confirms West Ham have bid for midfielder Arne Engels, although it "doesn't remotely meet our valuation". O'Neill stressed Celtic's aim is to try to keep both players and said it would be a "difficult task" to replace them, "but it's difficult to stop people if their ambition is to play in a big, big league".
Former Celtic midfielder Paul Hartley thinks the Scottish champions splashing out a club-record fee on Kasper Hogh could prove to be a bargain. The 25-year-old Denmark striker, who fired in a goal every other game for Bodo/Glimt, has signed a four-year contract with Martin O'Neill's side. Hartley has also tipped him as an early favourtie to finish as the top scorer in the Scottish Premiership given his previous pedigree for big goals.

Kasper Hogh says he had to trust his gut when committing to a Celtic move. A record signing for the club, the 25-year-old arrives with the pedigree of an elite-level striker, having scored 54 goals in 103 games for Norwegians Bodo/Glimt, five of which were in last season's Champions League. Many fans had wanted the club to make a move for Hogh for some time, and Hogh admits he had to go with his intuition before penning a four-year deal.
Celtic's potential Champions League play-off opponents became slightly clearer after the latest second qualifying round ties, including a stunning comeback win by Danish champions AGF Aarhus. The Scottish champions already knew that Norwegian counterparts Viking Stavanger and Austria's LASK are potential opponents as both have automatically qualified for the play-off round and will be on the unseeded side of the draw.
Everton, whose Scotland right-back, Nathan Patterson, is drawing strong interest from clubs in Germany, Italy and Spain, are preparing to firm up their interest in Celtic 27-year-old Alistair Johnston. Mika Baur has informed Paderborn of his desire to join Celtic this summer after the 22-year-old midfielder agreed personal terms with the Scottish champions. Mika Baur missed Paderborn's friendly with Southampon on Wednesday, but the German club's claim that the Celtic target was ill is not accurate.
