Kelt must regret sale of upgrades Hatata of 76 tickets for a small fee

Celtic lost Danish offensive midfielder Matt O’riiley, who signed for Brighton & Hove Albion last summer Brendan Rodgers pierced money to replace it.

The hoops came up to sign the Belgian star Arne Engels from the Augsburg Bundesliga Reported fee of £ 11 millionbreaking the record record for transfer to enhance their capabilities in the middle of the park.

Paulo Bernardo was also permanently signed from Benfice, after being brought from Dundee from McCowan Luke McCowan last season.

So far, Engels has been worth money for Scottish giants with his contributions at the upper end of the field. Belgium International has collected Ten goals and 12 assists in 41 games in all competitions.

21-year-old Maestro showed his ability to make a big impact in the last third, as a deadly punishment and a creator of goals, and begins to appear as a star star for Rodgers.

Its exceptional form in the middle of the park for Scotland Prime Minister Champions also took away the reflectors of Reo Hatate, who had the opportunity to take over O’riley last summer.

The form of reo haatate this season

Japan International suffered a 2023/24 injury campaign while the season ended with righteous Three goals and two assists In 21 appearances in all competitions.

He didn’t get the opportunity to play a week a week and show his quality, and the 27-year-old star may have seen O’riley’s departure as an opportunity to step up and become the main man for the hoops.

Unfortunately, this did not work because Engels’ performances overshadowed the work of Hatata in the middle of the field. Japanese Whiz scored seven goals and handed five assists In 45 appearances in all competitions, which is solid but non -peccatical, return.

As you can see in the table above, Hatate has struggled this season from possession of the Premiership because the opposition players considered too much easy to get it better in the duels.

An experienced Celtic performer is not a powerful midfielder who holds the team defensively, but Engels’s form means that he is not an extraordinary attacking force in the terrain area.

Although Hatate is still a good option for Rodgers, since he contributed nine goals in the league, Celtic once released a midfielder who is now even better than Japan International, and in turn got a little.

Kelt broke out Jackson Irvine

Jackson Irvine joined the Scottish Giants at the U20 level from the Australian side Frankston Pines in January in January in 2010, and he broke through the ranks at the Academy.

He debuted for first -team hoops against Hibernian in the Premiership in 2012, Playing 45 minutesBut it turned out to be his only appearance at the club.

Irvine was sent to Kilmarnock’s loan in the 2013/14 campaign, scoring Once in 27 appearances in the leaguebefore joining Ross County on loan for next season.

Australian midfielder scored two goals and provided two assists in 28 premiership appearance for Ross district, who then decided to want to sign it permanently.

It has been announced that the staggies have signed Irvin for ‘a small development fee‘In the midst of the interests of Motherwell and Hiberniana, although it remains unclear how much Celtic received for his services.

Fast forward to this day, after spells with Ross district, Burton Albion, Hull City and Hibernist, Irvina is currently succeeding in the Bundesliga, with St. Pauli also had St. Pauli registered 76 caps for your country.

Why should Celtic have to sell Jackson Irvine

The 31-year-old star has started all 24 From his appearances in the German top flight so far this season, he has caught the eye with seven ‘big chances’ and five assists – more assists than Hataate succeeded in the Premiership.

And he made 3.1 Dark and interceptions By the game and won 50% of his duels in the Bundesliga, which suggests that Irvine provides a strong defense presence together with his offensive qualities.

Engels go from return Three goals and two assists In 32 Bundesliga games last season to nine goals and five assists In the 26 Premiership Games, this term suggests that the German top flight is a step in quality.

This illustrates how impressive Irvina’s performances, compared to Hatate, were this season, because at a higher level he provided fantastic creativity and defensive strength.

Therefore, it could be more fair to compare the form of a former Celtic perspective in the 2nd Bundesliga campaign in the 2023/24 campaign, as it can offer a clearer picture of their performance levels on a similar football standard.

As you can see in the table above, Jackson offers a bigger threat to the upper end of the terrain, and at the same time is more effective for his side outside the possession, showing that he is a well -rounded midfielder who can influence games on and outside the ball.

This does not mean that Hatate is a bad player or someone from whom the club should soon start from any time, but it suggests that the hoops should be wrong when they let Australia International for the “little” fee in 2015.

Irvine, who used to be marked the “revelation” Former head Nigel Clough impressed in the first two level of German football with St. Paulius and seemingly proven himself as an even better player than Japan International, which suggests that Rodgers would love to have him as an option in his current composition.

Unfortunately, Celtic has already allowed Irvine to join the Ross district on a permanent agreement a year before the head coach of Northern Ireland arrived at Parkhead for his first spell in 2016.
