Celtic’s social media team have dropped what appears to be a cryptic hint towards a potential new deal for Daizen Maeda.

A post featuring the Japanese forward speaking into a microphone at Celtic Park was captioned simply with the lyrics “Do do do do do do do do 🎤” – a playful nod to the Hoops support’s Tequila chant for Maeda.

The timing of the post has sparked speculation that the club are preparing to announce a contract extension for the 27-year-old, whose current deal runs until the summer of 2027. While Maeda remains tied down for another two years, reported interest from Turkish side Fenerbahçe has created urgency around securing his long-term future in Glasgow.

Talks are understood to be imminent, with Maeda’s expected to sit down with the club in the coming weeks. Reports suggest that Fenerbahçe are considering a formal bid, which has only sharpened Celtic’s desire to act decisively.

If a new deal is indeed on the cards, it would be a massive boost for Brendan Rodgers ahead of the new campaign.

Maeda has established himself as one of the most effective forwards in Scotland, combining relentless energy with versatility and a growing goal threat. His standout performances, particularly in big games, have made him a vital part of the current side.

With European qualifiers looming and domestic dominance once again the aim, retaining key players like Maeda could be just as crucial as any new signing.

If this social media teaser is anything to go by, the Celtic support might not have to wait long for good news.
