Hatem Elhamed has sent a picture to his Instagram presumably to alleviate concerns over his health after news emerged over the weekend the player had picked up a virus.

Hatem was branded a doubt for his country against Latvia this Tuesday after the player took ill shortly after returning to Israel.

However, it would appear the Celtic defender has recovered and is back in contention for his country.

This would also be good news for Celtic if he makes the game against Latvia. If the player comes back fit and healthy for the Ross County game on Saturday it would be a huge bonus for the bhoys with the big man likely to slip straight back into the team after not playing during Celtic’s loss to Livingston over a week ago.

Hatem has been solid for the Hoops so far but niggling injuries has seen him sit out some games. Moritz Bauer has deputised on those occasions.
