Celtic Head Coach Brendan Rodgers Is Unlikely to Be Satisfied With The Way Scottish Premiership Champions Have Started The 2025/26 Campaign.
The Hoops Are Currently Second In the Premiership Table, After Seven Seven Matches, Ahead Hearts Ahead Hearts Ahead of Their Return to The International Break.
Celtic Also Failed for the Champions League, Losing To Kairat After Two Legs and a Penalty Shootout, and Have Picked Up Just One Point From Their First Two Outings in The League Phase League.
The Scottish Giants Did Get Back to Last Time Out in The Premiership, Though, Asen’s Stoppage-Time Winner’s Parkhead Secured All Three Points Against Motherwell.
Scoring Goals has not come Easy to Celtic Thouroughout The 2025/26 Campaign, Though, As They Faile In Five Matches In All Competitions this Season.
This Shows That The Hoops Have Been Too Blunt At The Top End of The Pitch At Times, and There Are Several Reasons as to whory that has been the case.
Why Celtic Have Struggled for Goals This Season
Seven Matches The Premiership Season, Summer Signing Benjamin Nygren is the only Celtic Player Who has scored more than Two League goals, with fourrils to Central Midfield Role, Per WHOSCored.
In The 2024/25 Campaign, Seven Players Hit Double Giants for the Scottish Giants, and Three Players Scored 20 Goals or More For The Club.
Player | Appearances | Goals |
|---|---|---|
DIENZEN Maeda | 51 | 33 |
Nicolas Kuhn | 51 | 21 21 21 |
Adam Idah | 53 | 20 |
Kyogo Furuhashi | 32 | 12 |
Reo hatate | 55 | 11 |
Callum McGregor | 54 | 10 |
Arne Engels | 52 | 10 |
As You can be at the table, Three of Celtic’s Top Four Season from Last Season, As Kyogo Furuhashi Left in January, Before Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Moved on the Summer Transfer Window.
Kelechi Iheanacho has been scored in Six Matches, including Two penalties, Since He Came in Idah, and Appears to Be On The Right Path to Become Scorer For The Hoops.
Sebastian Tounekti and Michel-Ange Balikwisha Have Been Brought Out Wide To Negate The Loss of Kuhn, But Only Combined for One Goal in All Competitions Thus Far, per transfermark.
On Top of Losing Kuhn, Idah, and Kyogo, Some of the Celtic’s Reliable Goalscorers from Last Season to Kick on and Shine Again in Front of Goal in the Current Campaign.
Reo Hatate, For example, has only been scored One Goal in Ten Appearances in All Competitions this term. That is a disappointing return for a star Who Delivered 11 Goals and Nine Assists in 55 Appearances in All Competitions Last Season, per transfermark.
Rodgers Knows That The Japan International Is Capable At More Quality At The Top End of The Pitch Than Has Its Shown in The Last Two Months or Seat.
Whilst Hatate’s regression in Form in Front’s Governing is a Concern for The Hoops Manager at The Moment, There Is Another Player Whose Fall-off Is Even More Celtic.
Belgium International Arne Engels has been the Japanese Central Midfielder, after an impressive impressive Giants with the Scottish Giants.
Why Celtic Should Be Worried by Arne Engels’ form
Celtic Should Be Worried by The Central Midfielder’s Drop-off in Form Because he was an £ 11m Club-record Signing From The Summer of 2024.
The Hoops Invested A Lot Young Talent, More Than Any Oher Player Of The History, And They Would Hoping for Quality Performances on The Pitch and a Soaring Market Value That Would Lead to A Future Profit.
After His His First Season, Engels Could Easily Have A DESCRIPED AS SUCCESS. He Ended His First Year with The Club With the Return of Ten Goals and 13 Assists in 51 Appearances in All Competitions, per transfermarkt.
23 GOAL Contributions from Central Midfield Position Earned Him The Young Player Of The Year Award, What Shows How Highly Rated He Was Within The Club. Hey Was Even described as “fantastic” by Captain Callum McGregor.
Former Celtic Star and Pundit Chris Sutton Even Said That He wAs “Getting Excited” Over The Belgian Star’s Performances in The Middle Of The Park For The Scottish Giants.
Unfortunately, Though, Engels has struggled at The 2025/26 Campaign and Currently Finds Himself Out Side, Behind McGregor, Hatate, And Nygren in the Pecking Order to Central Midfield.
Arne Engels (Premiership) | 24/25 | 25/26 |
|---|---|---|
Appearances | 34 | 6 |
Shots on Target Game | 0.6 | 0 |
Goals | 9 | 0 |
Big Chances Created | 11 | 0 |
Key Passes Per Game | 1.7 | 0.7 |
Assists | 6 | 0 |
Duel Sccess Rate | 49% | 27% |
As You can be on the table, The Belgian Midfielder’s Form has fallen off a cliff this season, with His Current Displays in the Premiership Lacking In The Premiership Offensively And Physically.
Hatate, at Least, Has 58% Of His Duels and Scored Aberdeen Earlier this Season, Starting All Five Appearances, Per Sofascore, What Shows Than Has Offered More To Team Than Engels Started.
Celtic Should Be Worried by His Drop-off in Form Because It Is Affecting His Market Value. Transfermarkt Valued at the Midfielder at June, But Currently Value at Him Just £ 8.7m After Disappointing Start to The Campaign.
This Shows That The Club’s Big Asset and Recording Is Depreciating In Value, What Should Be Concerning Given the Amount of The Amount to Sign Him Him Last Year.
Therefore, Rodgers and His Coaching Should Be Hard To Help Back to Belgenian Star Parkhead, Because on the £ 11M Signing Waste on The Bench Is Footballing or A Financial Perspective.
