Celtic winger Luis Palma is currently out on loan at Greek side Olympiacos.
The Honduran was offered the chance to get first-team football away from Celtic, and in January, Palma joined Olympiacos until the end of the season.
Since then Palma has made four appearances for the Greek side and last night, the 25-year-old finally made his mark for Olympiacos as he scored his first goal for the club.

Celtic winger Luis Palma nears another medal after scoring for Olympiacos in cup rout of AEK Athens
Palma got the nod to start for his temporary club in the first leg of the Greek Cup semi-final against AEK Athens.
Palma scored the fourth goal in the 6-0 rout and also created an assist for teammate Andre Horta’s opener in the 9th minute.
To celebrate the win, Palma took to Instagram to post the following message to the Olympiacos fans: “Step by step” with a lion emoji.
Responding to the post, Celtic midfielder Paulo Bernardo replied, “Golazooo” with two fire emojis and even former Hoops defender Alex Valle got involved as he replied, “Son cositas papá.” which translated means, “It’s daddy’s little things.”
The post was also liked by Alistair Johnston, Maik Nawrocki, Nicolas Kuhn, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Adam Idah and former Celtic hero Matt O’Riley.
