I think it’s fair to say that Luis Palma is now the darling of Celtic and the supporters after his storming start to his first season at the club.
The Honduran international has been receiving huge plaudits for his goals and assists and, more recently, his performance against Aberdeen in the 6-0 win was simply brilliant.
However, now on international duty with Honduras, Palma was asked about how he was settling in in Scotland and about the song the Celtic fans have made for him.
Palma said [Diez], “I didn’t expect them to release a song from me, I thank the club’s fans, they’re the best fans I’ve ever had in my clubs.
“I feel blessed, I hope in God I can continue.”
Palma is certainly very popular with the media in his homeland. The 23-year-old is constantly in the media and he has been hyped as one of the country’s best players.
Set to face Mexico this week, a lot of Honduran hopes have been pinned on Palma to help the nation overcome a team that is ranked 15th in the world.
And it is not hard to see why. In eight appearances in the Scottish Premiership, Palma has netted four times and created five assists. [Transfermarkt]

His passing and ability to beat a man excites the fans and his delivery from dead balls and shooting is just superb.
There is little doubt that Palma can be put into the success category in Celtic’s transfer business and certainly seems to have a bright future in the game.
But for now, the Celtic fans can enjoy watching Palma represent Honduras this weekend. But only if you are a night owl. The 2am Saturday morning kick-off means many will just need to search for the highlights and, hopefully, Palma will get on the scoresheet.
