Daizen Maeda and Hayato Inamura made a quiet but meaningful gesture on Saturday evening after helping Celtic to a 3-0 win over Livingston at Celtic Park.

Just hours after full-time, the pair were seen on Sauchiehall Street donating to Help The Homeless Glasgow.

Inamura played the full match, while Maeda came off the bench to set up Johnny Kenny’s goal, but what they did afterwards made just as big an impression.

Neither player looked for praise or attention. If Help The Homeless Glasgow hadn’t shared a photo of them, nobody would have known they were even there.

The charity said the players turned up quietly, gave donations, and offered support without any fuss. There were no press cameras or club posts, just two footballers showing they care.

It was a simple act, but one that says a lot about Maeda and Inamura. The two have built a close friendship since Inamura arrived, and it’s clear that connection extends beyond football. While most fans focus on what happens on the pitch, this moment showed another side of the game.

Maeda is already known to Celtic fans for his energy, honesty, and attitude, and now Inamura is showing signs he’s cut from the same cloth.

The defender has looked sharp since coming into the team, and this gesture will only strengthen the connection he’s building with supporters.

Neither man asked for recognition, and that’s what makes the gesture stand out even more.

In a world where every moment is shared online, theirs was a quiet act of kindness done simply because it was the right thing to do.
