The Story in 60 Seconds

Egyptian winger Hassan has experienced a challenging start to his Celtic career following an initial £6 million summer transfer that could rise to £9 million. Spanish football journalist Sid Lowe gathered thoughts from Celtic supporters on social media, concluding that Hassan still has time to become an "infuriating but exciting cult hero." Hassan has recorded zero goals and one assist across nine appearances under manager Martin O'Neill.

Despite recent confusion over a possible injury, the 24-year-old started and played roughly an hour in Egypt's goalless Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Angola. Hassan is confirmed fit for Celtic's next fixture against Motherwell at Fir Park on October 11, following a stretch in which Celtic suffered three consecutive defeats.
