Engels wanted by three Premier League clubs as Celtic set £25m price

Engels wanted down south

Arne Engels could be on his way out of Celtic Park this summer, with Sunderland, Nottingham Forest, and Fulham all tracking the midfielder. A bid of around £25 million is likely enough to get a deal done (1). That kind of money would give Martin O'Neill serious room to reshape the squad, but losing Engels means another gap to fill in a midfield already facing Hatate's potential departure.

Title decided on the final day

Celtic beat Hearts 3–1 on the final day to clinch the Premiership, denying the Edinburgh side their first league title in 41 years (2). Hearts went in needing a result at Celtic Park and left with nothing. The win sealed a domestic double for O'Neill, who took over mid-season with the league in real danger and delivered both trophies.

Shankland crosses the divide

Lawrence Shankland, who played for Hearts in that title decider at Celtic Park, has completed a move to Rangers (2). The striker scored against your team in the final-day clash and will now line up on the other side of the Old Firm. Seeing a player who hurt you immediately join your biggest rival stings.
