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".
Liverpool are preparing an offer for Paris St-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, but with the French club reportedly valuing him at £145m, would he represent good value for money? The Merseysiders would be reluctant to pay a British record fee for a player who scored only 13 goals last season. Barcola's best season to date came in 2024-25, when he scored or assisted 39 goals, the ninth-highest total by any player in Europe's top five leagues.
The possibility of Bradley Barcola becoming a Liverpool player is a genuine one, with the Reds set to make a bid for the PSG winger. Liverpool are long-standing admirers of the France international and engaged in discussions last summer about his availability but eventually decided they didn't want to block the pathway of Rio Ngumoha. With Mohamed Salah gone, the situation has changed.
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.
