Some Celtic fans have reacted to the return from injury of on-loan Southampton star Mohamed Elyounoussi recently.
Celtic have already revealed their squad for the upcoming Premiership game against Motherwell and it has been confirmed that Elyounoussi is in contention to feature, with Jozo Simunovic also in line to return.
Should Celtic sign Elyounoussi permanently?
Surely, no question about it
Too early to say!
This news went viral and when a Hoops-related page called CelticBible posted the update, Bhoys fans revealed their happiness. They expressed their delight about it and want him to come back soon.
Best Celtic news all year so far!

Celtic signed Elyounoussi on loan from Southampton in the summer, while goalkeeper Fraser Forster also returned to Parkhead on a loan deal from St. Mary’s.
The Norwegian has been in good form for the Hoops, playing 13 games in all competitions and scoring seven times for the club. He also has a tally of six assists to his name. He’s not featured in a single game for the club since the end of November and has missed a total of 11 games since then due to a foot injury.
What do we think?
Elyounoussi’s injury record over the last few years is a clean one. Since the start of the 2016-17 season, when he was at Basel, he has missed only 15 games due to injury. In fact, three of these games were missed due to illness. It shows that he isn’t an injury-prone player and could become an important player for the Hoops as the season wears on.
