Celtic winger Luis Palma took to social media after his subdued performance in Sunday’s 2-0 League Cup Quarter Final win over Falkirk, leaving fans speculating whether the post was in response to criticism.
The 24-year-old was given a rare start but struggled to make an impact against the Championship side.
Palma’s message, posted on Instagram, read: “Resilience. That’s why you’re going to get ahead in life, because despite any adversity, you find the positive side and you start working forward.” While he didn’t directly address his performance, it’s possible the post reflects his frustration over either the match or his limited game time in recent weeks.
The winger had started his Celtic career on a positive note, but his form has dipped, and with the likes of Nicolas Kühn and Daizen Maeda impressing, Palma seems to be slipping down the pecking order.
We at CeltsAreHere have been critical of his recent displays, any criticism comes from a desire to see the best players on the pitch – and at the moment, Palma is struggling to break into that category.
It remains to be seen whether Palma can turn things around and reclaim a regular spot in the starting XI, but his message suggests he’s determined to keep working hard despite the challenges.
