Arne Engels reveals personal Celtic goals and assists target

Celtic midfielder Arne Engels wants to reach 10 goals and 10 assists across all competitions before the season ends.

The Belgian international joined the Scottish Premiership champions last summer from FC Augsburg in the German Bundesliga.

Brought in for £11m, Engels instantly became Celtic's record signing, resultantly putting increased levels of scope on his displays.

So far in Glasgow's east end, though, the 21-year-old has performed amicably.

Engels has impressed for Celtic both domestically and in Europe, racking up seven goals and nine assists across all competitions for his side so far this season.

He wants more, however, and when recently asked in an interview with Celtic TV if he is aiming to reach 10 goals and 10 assists before the campaign is out, Engels instantly replied: "Yeah, 100%"

"You always think about it before the season and what you want to achieve, but you always need to re-raise the bar.

"What you said about double figures, there's still half a season to go, so I just want to do my best, and we will see what I have in the end."

Celtic face Dundee at Parkhead this evening as Engels looks to work towards his numerical target.

Brendan Rodgers' men can move 13 points clear of Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership with a win.
