Fans react to seeing Elhamed in training

Celtic have been handed a January boost as Hatem Abd Elhamed was pictured in training as he continues his recovery from injury.

The Hoops posted photos on their official Twitter account of the players being put through their paces in Dubai as they prepare to return to action later this month.

And after seeing Elhamed stepping up his recovery, these Celtic fans are incredibly pleased.

Elhamed returning to training will be hugely positive for Neil Lennon, especially given how he has a good amount of time to get up to speed before Celtic’s clash with Partick Thistle later this month. 

Jeremie Frimpong has impressed in Elhamed’s absence, but the Israeli’s return will certainly be a big boost for Celtic.
