Video: Celtic Loanee Scores Dramatic Equaliser

Luis Palma has wasted no time making an impact at Lech Poznań, scoring his first goal for the club in Saturday night’s 1-1 draw against Korona Kielce.

The Honduran winger, who left Celtic this summer after falling out of Brendan Rodgers’ plans, has quickly settled into his new surroundings. Loaned out to the Polish side to find game time and consistency, Palma is already beginning to win over the home support.

It was a testing evening for Lech, who trailed going into the final minutes of the match. But Palma had other ideas. Positioned well inside the area, he met a late cross with a firm header to draw his side level in the 83rd minute.

It was a well-timed goal that not only salvaged a point but also gave the 25-year-old his first major moment in a Poznań shirt.

His performance throughout the match showed promise, energy in wide areas, sharp movement, and a willingness to get into dangerous positions.

It’s that kind of contribution that Celtic fans saw glimpses of during his time in Glasgow, particularly early on in his Parkhead spell. However, consistency and end product often eluded him at Celtic Park, leading Rodgers to sanction the temporary move abroad.

Now in a fresh environment with regular minutes, Palma looks determined to rebuild his form and reputation. The reaction from the Lech Poznań support has been immediate. Social media was full of praise post-match, with fans lauding his commitment, technical quality, and knack for turning up at key moments.

While it’s still early days in the Polish Ekstraklasa, Palma’s bright start could turn this loan move into an important chapter in his career.

If he keeps this up, he’ll not only remain a fan favourite in Poznań but might also give Celtic something to think about come the end of the season.
