A number of Celtic fans have praised Hatem Abd Elhamed for a “spectacular” training-ground goal, as shared by the Hoops on social media.

Neil Lennon’s charges are currently in the English university town of Loughborough – home to renowned training and sports science facilities – stepping up their preparations for 2020-21.

Celtic were well ahead at the Scottish Premiership summit by the time the league was suspended and eventually called, ensuring the Hoops lifted the title for a ninth season in a row.

Elhamed will hope to play a more crucial role for the Parkhead side in their quest for ten-in-a-row following a maiden season sadly disrupted by injury.

The Israel international joined Celtic in the summer of 2019 and made 14 appearances for the Bhoys in all competitions, winning the fans over early on in the campaign.

However, Elhamed got injured after the Europa League victory against Lazio in October and, though he battled back to fitness, only made one more appearance before the season was halted.

Now fit and raring to go, the 29-year-old is training normally and, on Wednesday, weighed in with an outside-of-the-boot effort into the top corner of the training-ground net.

Celtic shared it on their Twitter channel and many fans loved what they saw:
