Hassan can 'create havoc' for Celtic - O'Neill

Manager Martin O'Neill is backing new arrival Haissem Hassan to "glow" and create "havoc" at Celtic, while the Egypt winger has described his move from Real Oviedo as the "perfect moment". The 24-year-old signed a four-year deal on Thursday, with the option of a further year. O'Neill revealed that Oviedo rejected an approach in January, with Hassan now ready to link up with fellow summer recruits Kasper Hogh and Camilo Duran. "When he gets to see the surrounds here, I just think he'll glow," O'Neill told club media. "People start to think about the number of things that players can't do, and I think you have to stay more in the positive of what players can do. "Going past players is a sort of a dying art, which is really almost unforgivable in football. And that's what fans get excited about. "And to tell you the truth, so do fellow players. They think if he can take people on and then cause some sort of havoc, make some goals, maybe score the occasional one as well too - all of that adds to the mix." Hassan, who is left-footed but often plays on the right, described himself as "a skilful winger who likes one-versus-one situations and combining with my team-mates". Having played in France and Spain, he is looking forward to a new challenge with the Scottish champions. "For me, football is all about enjoyment, and my first job is to bring enjoyment to the fans who come to the stadium," he added. "I'm still only 24 and I have a lot to improve on, but I hope I can show the best of myself. "With Celtic's history, all the great players, the fans and the atmosphere, I think this is the perfect moment for me. "At Celtic, everything is about winning and that's what I want."
