Martin O’Neill shames Celtic Board with Arne Engels confession

Martin O'Neill has criticized the Celtic Board for their decision to sell Arne Engels to West Ham without finding a suitable replacement, which has had a significant impact on the club financially and on the pitch. Engels' departure has left a noticeable void in Celtic's midfield, with O'Neill admitting that the loss of his running power is a significant setback.

Despite O'Neill's acknowledgement of the need for strong running players, he believes that the club failed to address this issue during the summer transfer window. The failure to replace Engels is now expected to cost the Celtic Board more than the transfer fee received from West Ham, as well as cause concerns for the team's performance in upcoming matches.
