Celtic duo Hatem Elhamed and Nir Bitton have returned to Glasgow for the first time since March after being allowed to head back to Israel at the start of the football shutdown.

More players are expected to come back to town in the coming days to begin a 14 day quarantine before they’re allowed to head out anywhere.

The pair looked pretty tired as they landed back in Scotland this morning.

We have no idea at this point when the new season will start but it’s sensible that the club has the players here because the restart back to training could come pretty quickly.

The lads have been doing specified training routines from their home since the shut down to maintain a level of fitness.

With lockdown measures to be eased slightly next week – the bhoys could return to Lennoxtown in small numbers.
