Arne Engels continued his fine season in Celtic colours at St Mirren on Saturday evening.
Despite Brendan Rodgers’ side conceding two goals, Celtic still ran out 5-2 winners over St Mirren and moved closer to the title.
Celtic are now 16 points clear at the top of the Premiership table and it has been quite the debut campaign for many new stars.

Once of them includes Engels, who arrived in the summer with big pressure on his shoulders, because he was snapped up from Augsburg for a club-record fee.
The rising Belgium star hit double figure goals for the season against St Mirren and also continued his fine record from the penalty spot.
In the Premiership alone, Engels has a 100% penalty record, although he did have that one penalty saved in the Champions League against Young Boys.

Sky Sports’ odd graphic before Arne Engels’ penalty record before goal against St Mirren
The timing of Engels’ goal was significant because it allowed Celtic to go into the break 2-1 ahead.
Before the penalty was taken, Sky Sports put up a graphic seemingly showcasing Engels’ record in the Premiership this season.
It listed that he had scored six from six, which is correct, but as you can see in the footage below at 1.32, the graphic also displayed an image of the net and where he had placed all of his goals.
But rather than show six different spots, it showed two and they were both hilariously hitting the post and the crossbar.
