ARNE ENGELS, who is reportedly on the brink of a £22million move to West Ham, has been included in Celtic’s 25-man squad for the Champions League qualifiers against Austria’s LASK. The Belgian playmaker is being pursued by the London side as they attempt to make a quickfire return to the Premier League following last season’s relegation. Missing, though, is Canada World Cup right-back Alistair Johnston, replaced by Colby Donovan at half-time in last weekend’s 5-1 win over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, who is expected to be out for several weeks with an injury. ON THE MOVE…Arne Engels in action in the 5-1 win over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park in what could be his last game for Celtic. The four summer signings – Kasper Hogh, Camilo Duran, Haissem Hassan and Mika Baur – are all in Martin O’Neill’s pool. The Hoops have until 11pm on Tuesday to make two additions to the list, 24 hours ahead of their first leg against the Austrians at Parkhead with the return six days later. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is selected, but could be ruled out of the tie in Glasgow as he serves a suspension after being red-carded playing for Besiktas almost THREE years ago.
