Celtic won 5-0 against St Mirren at the weekend. Leigh Griffiths getting his first hat-trick in four years was the headline story but the sub plot was just as intriguing.
With the game wrapped up, Neil Lennon has the luxury of bringing Hatem Elhamed back into the fold. The defender has been missing through injury since November and is now in a place where he can stake his claim for a place in the side.
The Israeli got around 15 minutes, but he made every single on of them count. Charging up the park like a man on a mission, winning a penalty for the bhoys and almost scoring shortly after. The lad is hungry to make up for all the games he’s missed.
That’s why when the club welcomed the player back on social media, there was plenty of people who want to see Neil Lennon put Elhamed in against The Rangers on Sunday.
