DAIZEN MAEDA scored a very cheeky goal against Norwich on Saturday afternoon with a fantastic bit of improvising.
The man from Japan scored a spinning back heel with the ball looking to be heading behind him.
MAGIC MAEDA! 🇯🇵

Norwich will feel aggrieved they didn’t get the offside flag in the build up to the goal, but you can’t take anything away from that finish.
Daizen has looked very sharp in pre-season, and we can’t wait to see what he can do when the real games come. The former J-League star has claimed the Hoops fans haven’t seen the best of him yet.
The game against Norwich is Celtic’s final game of pre-season before the team go into proper final preparation for the beginning of the season.
It’s Aberdeen on Sunday afternoon at the end of July. We have an inkling the starting XI from the Norwich game will be the XI who begin Celtic’s title defence.
Carl Starfelt is still to come back from injury, but the bhoys are strong otherwise.
