Luis Palma received a caution from his Celtic teammate about the critical upcoming match against Rangers, despite Palma’s belief that the champions have regained their top form.
The impending showdown between Glasgow’s fierce rivals this weekend is anticipated to be a pivotal derby clash, with Celtic holding a three-point advantage over their opponents along with a superior goal difference. Palma, the talented Honduran player, has been out of the starting lineup for Celts since recovering from his injury in February and has mostly assumed a substitute role under Brendan Rodgers.
Nevertheless, speaking in a televised interview from his homeland, Palma expressed his enjoyment of life in Scotland, stating, “I believe we are back on the right track completely. Our teamwork has improved significantly. As we approach the most crucial game of the season, there is no room for mistakes as Rangers are closely behind us. To retain our title, we must shut them out and triumph in all remaining matches.”
Reflecting on his time with Celtic, Palma reminisced about scoring crucial goals for the team, singling out his standout performance against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Despite the rapid passage of time since joining Celtic, he feels he has seamlessly adapted to the club and participated in numerous prestigious competitions, deeming the season as remarkable on a personal level.
Eager to make a comeback in international football, especially after missing Honduras’ Copa America playoff defeat to Costa Rica in March due to injury, Palma expressed his determination to represent his country in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Cuba and Bermuda in June. Highlighting the disappointment of being sidelined during a crucial match, Palma emphasized the unity within the national team and their shared ambition to secure a spot in the next World Cup, considering it a collective obligation.
