Luis Palma proving his worth already – The Bhoy theRangers couldn’t afford is becoming a real Celtic star…
Luis Palma has settled into life pretty quickly at Celtic. The Honduran could maybe have been forgiven for not being up to speed yet due to the language barrier, climate changes and style of football etc, but he’s done just fine. Maybe better than anyone actually anticipated.
After 10 games Luis Palma has scored four goals and provided two assists. He looks a constant threat to defences and his skill at dead ball situations is very impressive.
His goal at Dingwall against Ross County at the weekend was sheer class. Already a goal of the season contender. His assist for James Forrest to score the third was also sublime and it was such a special moment for the veteran Celtic winger as it meant that he has now scored for Celtic in 15 consecutive seasons, a remarkable achievement.
It’s not just domestically he’s proving his worth but in the biggest stage of all in the Champions League. He was unlucky to see his effort ruled out for offside against Lazio, but scored a fabulous effort against Atletico Madrid. He’s a fine player indeed.
Luis is still improving, and when he fully settles in and hits top gear he will be one helluva player. A player we are lucky to have and one that will reach the top level. Luis looks like yet another shrewd bit of business by the club, maybe even the signing of the summer.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy

Looks like he could play No 10 or No 8 if required.
Speed of thought rather than physical speed is his u s p.
Hail Hail.
