He had vast, vast experience.
He'd obviously won things previously, so he knew what it was about.
It's funny, I hear him speaking all the time about...
the pressures of Celtic and this can't be a criticism but he's never actually seen Celtic not win yeah of course that's when the pressure really hits but that's our criticism because he was so good the squad he was part of was incredible and yeah he was exceptional but even hearing him say that when he comes up and you're right he's not been in a Celtic team that's had real pressure on them but to come from Man City winning leagues playing in World Cups for England
Euros for England and they come up and say the pressure and just how much they loved it up here it just shows you how big our two big clubs are yeah I think anyone that comes up from down south obviously I've been down there so have you and you hear people that aren't educated in Scottish football don't understand it when they come they do very very quickly Martin O'Neill ahead of the game said look it's Celtic it's going to be tough but Celtic always go in with a belief well I would hope so I mean that's obviously the aim but I'm not I'm not
Yeah, you can see straight away the way the game maybe unfolds.
Celtic are in their natural shape in 4-3-3.
But yeah, it just kind of broke down.
Arne Engels got nipped in front of the fan.
You can see the speed they have at the top end of the pitch.
Yeah, well, I think he would say, rightly so, he's been bought for a huge fee.
He's coming with a massive kind of that tag on him that he's coming in to be a Celtic starter.
You have to accept that pressure.
But then the reality of it is, was he 21 when he came?
He's adapting to a new country.
I think you've seen a better player this year.
I've no doubt that he's going to become better and better and better.
But at Celtic, the reality is you come in for that price tag you have to produce straight away.
And last season he was...
He was in between.
