    Israeli international Hatem Abd Elhamed is on his way from Hapoel Be’er Sheva, and had a medical in Paris ahead of his arrival.


    Lennon has also identified another player to challenge for that problem position.

    As SunSport revealed last week Leicester title winner Danny Simpson was set to begin a trial at Lennoxtown this week.

    But that was cancelled with Celts close to a deal for another mystery target.

    about Simpson, Lennon said: “That’s not happening. We are down the line with one player, so he is going through the medical process at the minute.

    “We got the work permit on Monday so he is doing the paperwork and medical in Paris.”

    Replacing Sweden star Mikael Lustig won’t be easy, but Lennon added: “The player can’t think that way. He just has to come in and be himself.

    “There are a lot of similarities to Mika. Hatem is a good height, but quicker than Mika — which wouldn’t be hard!

    “Mika was a stalwart and really consistent but we can’t think about bringing in the new Mikael Lustig.


    Abd Elhamed is his own player and brings a lot of good attributes to the team.

    “Right-back has been difficult for Celtic over the last few years, but a lot of clubs are in the same position.

    “But we are close with Hatem and in negotiations with another.”

    The fact that Hatem is the replacement for Lustig, would suggest that the second option won't be one to go straight into the first team. Maybe a prospect..

    Adam matthews possibly , the fact that they are negotiating with someone and there has been no reporting of bids in the media it seem it may be an out of contract player

    I didn't think he would be our 1st choice RB tbh, he isn't a natural RB ?


    Was thinking we were still gonna sign a 1st choice RB.

    I would hope so, but that article and Lennon's comments maybe suggests different.

    The same, I’m sure he has only played 5/6 games at right back, someone was looking at his states in his thread and posted them, I’m sure he played right back a good few seasons ago as well.

    I wouldn’t mind if he was signed for the centre half position but it’s worrying that Lennon is talking him up as our starting right back.

    Still don't think he's the main man..

    Lenny has stated he'll add to the squad and isn't gonna say aye well he's no first pick we'll sign another and just have him kicking about..

    Could be a curveball and the other isn't even a right back. Was a few rumours from KDS and a poster on here that the other was a midfielder so maybe Cifuentes..

    Yeah read this earlier and was thinking there's no way he will be our 1st choice RB, if this is the case then the alarm bells will be ringing, we need to spend decent money on a proper RB.

    Apparently those stats of 5 or 6 at right back were well off..

    He's been more of a centre half the last couple year's in the main though..
