Daizen Maeda was sent off in Celtic’s Champions League win over Young Boys.
The Japanese winger was given a straight red card for kicking out at Mohamed Kamara after losing the plot with the Guinean defender towards the end of Celtic’s Champions League win over Young Boys.
Maeda uncharacteristically lost his cool with the Young Boys stopper which led to his dismissal and Celtic having to see out the rest of the Champions League fixture with 10 men.
However, the Celtic hero took to social media and sent a message to the Parkhead support as Maeda apologised for his misconduct that led to the red card.
Daizen Maeda apologises for ‘causing trouble’ for Celtic vs Young Boys
Maeda said, “Thank you for your support. I’m really sorry for causing trouble to the team in such a wonderful atmosphere.
“I’ll continue to do my best for the team. Congratulations to all the Celtic fans and supporters.”
Celtic fans send Daizen Maeda a superb message
Celtic fans jumped on Maeda’s apology and offered one simple message to the Japanese winger. One said, “Daizen ma man no one is expecting an apology. You’ve done more than most to get us qualified.” and another replied, “Don’t be worrying about that! We love u Daizen.”
Another Celtic fan said, “Was a soft red, you keep playing with tenacity and bravery and we’ll keep driving you on. You’re having a brilliant season don’t let this blip affect you.” Whilst another replied, “We love you. It happens.”
And there were many, many more messages exactly like that for Maeda. The Celtic fans are backing the winger with some superb support as the player shows his humble side once again.
