Daizen Maeda has followed in the footsteps of Celtic’s social media team, posting a cheeky, well-timed update that has not gone unnoticed by fans. The Japanese international’s post came moments after Rangers dropped more points on the road, drawing 1-1 with Dundee at Dens Park.
Maeda shared a smiling photo alongside an action shot of himself celebrating Celtic’s 2-0 victory over Dundee United at Celtic Park, his timing raising a few eyebrows and sparking plenty of amusement among the Hoops faithful.
This isn’t the first time Celtic have indulged in a bit of banter. Just last weekend, after Rangers’ 3-3 draw with Hibs, Celtic’s official social media account posted a picture of Brendan Rodgers with a beaming smile and thumbs up right at full-time—a not-so-subtle nod to their rivals’ struggles.
The Hoops’ win over Dundee United saw them extend their lead at the top of the table to a staggering 15 points. Even with the recent setback at Ibrox, the Bhoys remain the dominant force in Scotland, cruising towards another SPFL title.

Meanwhile, Rangers’ inconsistency continues to be their downfall. They’ve shown up for big games but often falter against sides they’re expected to beat, further cementing the gap in class between the two clubs.
Maeda’s social media post has been hailed by fans as a perfectly executed bit of banter, reinforcing the feel-good atmosphere around Paradise. While Rangers continue to drop points, Celtic keep marching on—and the players know exactly how to have a laugh along the way.
