Well, Hatem Elhamed is on the brink of leaving Celtic.

The Hoops lost two senior players during the January transfer window in the form of Jeremie Frimpong and Olivier Ntcham.

But the Israel international also now looks set to leave Parkhead, amid speculation about a return to Hapoel Be’er Sheva.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon confirmed to BBC Radio Scotland on Saturday that a return to his homeland was in the offing.

Elhamed joined the Hoops in 2019 but in recent months had been left missing his wife and young son, who were back in Israel.

He hasn’t played for Celtic since the 1-0 defeat by Rangers at the start of the year.

Despite only being at the club for 18 months or so, Elhamed produced some very fine performances under Lennon.

And the majority of Celtic fans have offered very decent reaction to the fact he’s leaving, especially under the circumstances.

Here’s what they’re saying on Twitter:
