Hassan showing his class, Kasper Hogh will lap up his crosses | OneFootball

Hassan is showing his undoubted class, that will be even more evident when Kasper Hogh returns as the big striker will lap up those crosses from Haissem…

Haissem Hassan has impressed in his short time at the club, with his recent outing at St Mirren being just as productive as his back to back starts against Falkirk, and Aberdeen respectively.

Celtic’s Egyptian winger is an entertainer

The Egyptian has been a breath of fresh air for the Celtic supporters due to his willingness to take on his opponent, he’s what you could describe as an ‘entertainer’ a trait we’ve been deprived of for some considerable time.

But despite his positive showings, there is still some doubters among the hard to please element of the Celtic support. Some are of the belief that the Egyptian isn’t the finished article, and he’s all ‘flash and no cash’ in regard to his end product.

Some utter nonsense comments from our hard to please mob

I’m sorry but I have to completely disagree with that utter nonsense. Yes it’s all about opinions, but those who are of the belief that Hassan is underperforming don’t understand the game, or are simply wanting him to fail.

The games I’ve watched him in, and most Celtic supporters will agree I am sure , have seen the 24 year old inject a touch of class into our side with his positive play, and with some more luck, his terrific deliveries into the danger area would see him sitting at the top end of the assists chart.

Kasper Hogh will lap up Haissem’s crosses

It’s rather unfortunate that Haissem has yet to play alongside Kasper Hogh due to the Dane’s recent injury and the Danish international could make the squad for Wednesday night’s trip to Perth to take on recently promoted Champions winners St Johnstone, who beat Hibs at McDiarmid Park yesterday afternoon.

Camilo Duran is more of a link up player so much like the Egyptian, he does most of his good work outside of the box, whereas Kasper Hogh is a classic penalty box poacher with the build to get on the end of the endless stream of crosses coming in from the right wing for Hassan.

Haissem Hassan will contribute massively to Celtic’s goal tally

I’m certain that our latest Great Dane will thrive given the opportunities that Hassiem provides, and soon we’ll all see that for ourselves.

The Egyptian international showed his class in the recent World Cup, and he’s now showcasing that class to the delight of the majority of Celtic supporters.

Haissem Hassan will contribute massively to Celtic’s goal tally this season, even more so when Kasper Hogh is back in the starting XI.

With Camilo Duran and Yang both in outstanding form  (the latter will clearly be missed over the next few weeks as he is now away on international duty) and with Shim Mheuka really looking like he’s going to be a top player, Celtic’s attacking options haven’t been this good for a very long time.
