  "account": "Celtic winger Haissem Hassan is expected to make an early return to the club following a decision by Egypt's national team. The summer signing has been absent from international duty during the recent break and has represented Egypt in matches against Angola and South Sudan. However, Egypt's Ahram reports that Hassan will not take part in the upcoming friendly against South Africa, presumably to recover and potentially hasten his return to Celtic Park. This development could benefit Celtic as they gear up for their upcoming Premiership match against Motherwell. The Egyptian forward joined Celtic from Real Oviedo for approximately £6.5 million during the summer transfer window, but his impact at Celtic has been limited so far, registering only one assist in nine appearances under manager Martin O'Neill.",
