‘Inconsistent’ Celtic star gets called up to World Cup qualifying squad after winning the double

Now that the off-season is underway, Celtic fans are eagerly focused on supporting their favorite players as they represent their countries during the summer. Euro 2024 will begin in Germany in a little over two weeks. In this tournament, the Celtic supporters can anticipate watching their players Callum McGregor and Matt O’Riley represent Scotland and Denmark. It is also possible that Greg Taylor, Anthony Ralston, and James Forrest will participate in the event. Additionally, there will be international friendlies featuring the Republic of Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and Portugal. Celtic fans may get the chance to see Adam Idah and Liam Scales play in these matches and potentially witness Odin Thiago Holm, Gustaf Lagerbielke, and Paulo Bernardo in action as well. However, for other national teams, the journey to qualify for the 2026 World Cup starts this summer. A Celtic legend has been selected to help his country in their quest to secure a spot in the prestigious tournament. Luis Palma receives an invitation from an international organization. Last summer, Luis Palma signed for Celtic from Aris for £3.5m and quickly impressed in the early stages of his career with the team. He was a regular starter in the first half of the season but his performance has declined significantly since January. Nevertheless, Palma has still been selected to represent the Honduran national team in the upcoming World Cup qualifying matches against Cuba and Bermuda on June 7th and 9th. Palma has made a significant impact on Celtic’s successful season with a total of ten goals and ten assists. His performances in the Champions League group stages and crucial goals against Motherwell and Kilmarnock have earned him recognition. His impressive form in the first four months has put Palma in the spotlight. However, since the beginning of January, his ability to score goals and provide assists declined, resulting in fewer starts for Celtic due to Palma’s inconsistent performance, which has disappointed the fans. Palma has only managed to score two goals in the league since his last goal in the Boxing Day 3-0 victory against Dundee, with one of them being the winning goal on Trophy Day against St Mirren. Despite his lack of assists, it appears that Palma has impressed enough to be considered for inclusion in Reinaldo Rueda’s international squad.
