Celtic's Hassan misses Egypt match - gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football reported that Celtic winger Haissem Hassan did not feature in Egypt’s 1-0 friendly loss to South Africa on Sunday, with a separate report suggesting he has returned early to his club in Glasgow. The article does not give a formal explanation for his absence, and it presents the situation as part of wider Scottish football gossip rather than a confirmed club statement.

The same roundup also noted concern around Celtic striker Kasper Hogh’s recent form, while stressing there is still confidence in the summer signing from Bodo/Glimt. Other items in the gossip column touched on former Celtic midfielder Joe Ledley’s support for new players settling at the club, and comments from former Rangers forward Martyn Waghorn about his time at Ibrox.

For Hibs, the report said assistant Liam Craig has spoken about leaving the club and suggested he and manager David Gray can look back on their spell at Easter Road with pride. The digest also included remarks involving Rangers manager Derek McInnes and other Scottish clubs, reflecting the routine transfer-and-club news format used in BBC’s daily gossip roundups.

As reported, the main point is that Hassan’s absence from Egypt duty may indicate an early return to Celtic, but the BBC item did not present that as a confirmed development from the club itself.
