‘Personally’… Luis Palma gets honest about his current season at Celtic

Luis Palma has not had the best of seasons at Celtic so far as the Honduran struggles for game time under Brendan Rodgers.

With just seven appearances and no goals or assists, it is clear the Honduran international is struggling to recapture the form of his early days at Celtic.

Palma was the toast of the Honduran media after the Celtic winger’s brace against Mexico earned his team a 2-0 win last week in the CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final first leg.

And now, as he looks forward to the second leg in Mexico, Palma was asked about how he sees that game going and his current season at Celtic.

Luis Palma believes a ‘calm’ is coming to his Celtic ‘storm’

Palma was emotional after the Honduras win after the Celtic attacker shared how the passing of his grandmother has really affected him.

And now, looking ahead to the new season, the Hoops winger predicts that a calm is coming after a month-long Celtic ‘storm’.

Palma told La Prensa, “As a group everything changes, it’s not the same Mexico as last time. We have three days to take advantage of what we did at home and take advantage of the mistakes they made.

“Personally, it hasn’t been the kind of month I’ve wanted it to be, but the storm will pass and the calm will always come.”

Celtic winger Luis Palma plans to help his mother and ‘many families’ after Honduras landslide

As well as dealing with a personal tragedy within his family, Palma also shares how he plans to help his mother after her house collapsed when a landslide hit last week due to adverse weather conditions.

Palma continued, “There was a landslide, in my mum’s old house, they live there now, they don’t want to leave.

“There are many families who have lost their belongings and I want to send them a lot of strength. I’m going to talk to my mum about what we can do to help them.”

Hopefully, Palma can find some peace in his private life so that he can kickstart his Celtic career once more.

The Honduran was impressive in the first half of last season where goals in the Champions League and the Scottish Premiership made him one of the first names on the Celtic teamsheet.

But with Nicolas Kuhn’s impressive Celtic form and Daizen Maeda on fire, Palma has a tough task ahead trying to displace either of those players to win his place back in the Celtic starting lineup.
