Celtic winger Luis Palma has been struggling recently, as the Honduran has yet to secure a spot in the starting 11, unable to dislodge Daizen Maeda from the lineup.
Palma’s struggles can be attributed to both Daizen Maeda’s stellar form and his own inconsistent performances. The Honduran international notably failed to impress in a rare start against Falkirk in a 5-2 win just under two weeks ago. His substitution for Hyun-jun Yang proved pivotal, as Celtic overturned a 2-1 deficit to secure victory after Palma left the pitch.
According to the *Daily Record*, Luis Palma remains committed to a long-term future at Celtic, despite earlier rumors of a potential January exit. The report also suggests that Palma plans to “take a break from social media” in order to focus on regaining his form and turning around his fortunes at the club.
Last season, Palma’s frequent social media posts were well-received during his strong run of form. However, as his performances have dipped, those same posts have drawn criticism and unwanted attention, with fans questioning his focus amid his struggles on the pitch.
In light of his recent poor performances, Palma’s decision to step away from social media underscores his commitment to Celtic and determination to reclaim his spot in the starting 11. With Daizen Maeda starting ahead of him in the crucial match against Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park, Palma’s break suggests he’s focused on regaining his form and fighting for his place in the team.
Palma will aim to make a significant impact off the bench against Borussia Dortmund this evening, with his best performances last season coming in the Champions League. Tonight’s clash in Germany could be the perfect stage for him to reignite his Hoops career in Europe’s elite competition.
