Engels reveals 'not happy' Celtic dressing room at halftime during Aberdeen win

Celtic midfielder Arne Engels has revealed that he and his teammates were unhappy at halftime during their 5-1 win over Aberdeen this evening.

The Belgian midfielder didn't score himself but helped set up a few and was named man of the match.

While they weren't at their swashbuckling best in the opening 45 minutes, Celtic went in at the break comfortably in front by three goals to nil.

Despite possessing such an advantage, Engels revealed that those wearing green and white jerseys weren't in a wholly positive mood at the break: "The team really bounced back today," he told Sky Sports.

"It wasn't our best first half.

"Everybody was coming into the dressing room not happy because some things weren't going our way and how we wanted to play, so we changed some things."

Celtic went out to score twice more in the second 45, with Yang Hyun-jun and Maeda, once again, getting in on the act.

Shayden Morris got one back for the visitors late on, but it counted for nothing.

Back to the opening period, and arguably one of the finest goals of the night came courtesy of Portuguese winger Jota, who finished off a fast-paced counter-attack.

Engels laid it off for the 25-year-old, who finished with ease.

The Belgian midfielder is loving playing with Jota: "It's always really nice to play with great players," he said.

"He's doing really well, he's showing it everyday and every week. I'm really happy he's here."
