Peter Grant has raised a question over whether Haissem Hassan is “in a huff” at Celtic.

The winger was completely omitted from Martin O’Neill’s squad in last weekend’s win over Kilmarnock; the Hoops boss later confirmed that this was not an enforced decision.

Hassan is now on international duty with Egypt as normal. Since his £6 million arrival in Glasgow, the winger has divided opinion with his performances; he is yet to score a goal.

His lack of contribution out of possession has been criticised by some pundits, and Grant has raised a suspicion that the 24-year-old was unhappy after his appearance in Celtic’s win over Besiktas.

Peter Grant on Haissem Hassan: ‘It’s not all about you’

Speaking of the winger on the Go Radio Football Show, Grant said: “I’m sure Martin and the players will be thinking that there’s still a lot more to come from them. Now I think they’re going to start pushing.

“With the likes of Yang coming back, you’ve got Jota coming back now. Now, you’re saying, ‘Where’s Hassan? Was he injured at the weekend?’

“I don’t know if he was injured at the weekend; I saw him walking off in the Besiktas game. I didn’t know if he was in a huff because he got so little time.”

He was then played Martin O’Neill’s comments, commenting: “Well, that tells you that he wasn’t injured. Martin would usually come out and say that he’s pulled up with something.

“I looked at it, and I was a bit disappointed. Obviously, everybody’s on a high because we’d won, the players were going with the supporters or whatever they do in the modern game, with respect to that.

“I just saw [Hassan] walking off. I don’t know if he was walking off in a huff, or if he was just walking off. If he’s walking off in a huff, I agree with Martin. Because I don’t like that either. You’re in the team together. It’s not all about you. You’ve got to make sure you’re in there with your teammates.

“The one thing we can say about Kasper Hogh, in the other respect, was that his effort, his commitment… he was chasing back 75 yards. You know I would say to Hassan, ‘I’m going to sacrifice you, because if you’re going to do everything [going forward], we’ve got to sacrifice you running back at times.’ But see if you’re not doing it [going forward] either? You replace him.”
