Luis Palma has found limited playing time at Celtic this season, struggling to break into Brendan Rodgers’ lineup. Despite impressive displays by wingers Nicolas Kuhn and Daizen Maeda, who have amassed 21 goal contributions between them, Palma has only made one start, against Falkirk, and a few substitute appearances. His recent hat-trick in a friendly against Sligo Rovers, however, caught attention.
Rodgers acknowledged Palma’s hard work but suggested that the Honduran winger might be trying too hard to impress, especially with other wide players excelling. Rodgers believes Palma has the technical ability but needs to simplify his approach and focus on consistent teamwork to unlock his full potential. Palma’s determination to earn more minutes shows his commitment, but he faces strong competition in Celtic’s squad. His recent performance against Sligo Rovers could be a step toward more opportunities if he maintains consistency.
Despite his limited appearances, Palma’s stats from last season show he’s capable of making a big impact, having created 66 chances and completed 48 dribbles in the Premiership. He’ll need to build on that to regain a regular spot in the lineup .
