Celtic picked up a stunning 7-0 win over St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership yesterday.
Ryan Christie scored a hattrick to give the home side a memorable victory.
Neil Lennon will be delighted with his side’s start to the season. Celtic will want to defend their league title this year and the win over St Johnstone will certainly send a strong message to their rivals.
The Hoops looked well organised at the back and they were ruthless in attack.
Johnston, Edouard, Ntcham and Griffiths scored the other goals for the home side yesterday.
However, new signing Elhamed’s performance seems to have caught the fans’ eyes.
The 28-year-old right-back showed his defensive qualities throughout the game and his composure was outstanding.
He will be delighted with his debut and Elhamed will not look to build on his impressive start to life in Scotland.
The performance from him will certainly excite the fans as well. It seems that the right-back doesn’t need too much time to settle. He is ready to make an immediate impact for Celtic.
Here are some of the reactions to his performance from yesterday.
Elhamed is stronger than Toljan and faster than Lustig. Looking class

Elhamed had a solid debut at right back before going off injured with a dead leg. What a difference it makes having an attacking full back who wants to link up play.

No exaggerating or that, but I think Elhamed is probably the best right back in the world.
What a half of football to watch ?

Bolingoli and Elhamed were tremendous when they were on the pitch, they had little need to show what they could do defensively this afternoon but from an attacking prespective they will cause the opposition a lot of problems this season, so direct, so fast and so powerful. #SPFL

Hatem Abd Elhamed is a really good attacking right back
