Luis Palma gets Celtic exit plan IF he wants it as successor transfer 'stuck' despite escalating £15m payday

Struggling Luis Palma has been told not to give up at Celtic - as his behind the scenes antics could create a path to leave in January.

The 24-year-old has been down the pecking order at Parkhead so far this season and faced criticism from fans after his social media antics in the wake of a disappointing display - off the back of his only start this campaign against Falkirk. In the 6-0 rout of St Johnstone the following weekend, the Honduran failed to make the matchday squad and he did not make it off the bench in the Champions League mauling at the hands of Borussia Dortmund.

But reports in Honduras suggest that Palma has made it clear to Brendan Rodgers that he does not want to leave and is ready to fight to remain in Glasgow's east end. But international teammate Andy Najar reckons his fellow countryman could change his mind.

The former Anderlecht man told Diez: "I tell him not to give up, I know what he’s experiencing is difficult. When I went to Anderlecht it was difficult for 10 months, nobody knows.

“So, I tell him not to give up, he will return to his level, when he arrived, he showed it, and these are technical decisions. Sometimes it’s difficult when you are injured, when that happens you have to work twice as hard because those who are healthy wait.
