The big defender was a key performer in Bergamo as the Hoops bagged a huge away day point in the Champions League
Bullish Brendan Rodgers has urged Arne Engels ’ critics not to judge the Celtic ace by his £11million price tag.
“But it's it doesn't really matter either. There's critics in the game and people have an opinion, so you have to respect that. “And sometimes you'll be playing a lot of games and sometimes you come out to recover, so it's all natural. We had the same with Nicholas Kuhn, we've had probably the same with Callum McGregor over many years.
“He's a different player to what Matt O'Reilly was but it was for that very reason we brought him in, with that power and that running ability that he has to cover the ground, to do the dirty stuff. He had a specific job on that side against Ademola, an absolutely brilliant young player ,so I thought he did that job really really well and sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself for the team.
“I thought Auston was immense in Wednesday’s game. Liam Scales too. For Auston, I have a big admiration, especially since he's come in. He's a player that's been playing on the wrong side virtually all his time.
