Celtic winger Luis Palma shone on the international stage, delivering a trio of assists in Honduras’ emphatic 6-1 World Cup Qualifier victory over Bermuda.
This performance added to a successful international break for Honduras, which also included a win against Cuba, positioning them well in the early stages of their qualifying campaign. After two games played, they’re top of their qualifying group.

The 24-year-old winger had a mixed season at Celtic, marked by promising early form disrupted by an injury.
Despite this setback, he managed to end the season with notable numbers, including two goals in the Champions League and a total of eight goals and ten assists across the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup. This recent international performance suggests that Palma is regaining the form that excited Celtic fans earlier in the season.
