Opinion: Celtic star could be back in goal scoring form at the right time

Liel Abada has been one of Celtic‘s best players this season, the winger has weighed in with a very impressive 14 goals, and he is one of the reasons why the Hoops sit at the top of the Premiership table with seven league games to go.

It has been a while since he scored his last goal for the Hoops though, against Motherwell over a month ago. Since then, he has played seven games for the Bhoys without finding the back of the net.

That relative goal drought doesn’t seem to have affect the 20-year-old’s confidence though, as yesterday he scored a great goal for the Israeli under-21 side in their 2-2 draw with Poland.

The ball came to the winger on the edge of the penalty box, he took a touch, and hammered the ball into the top corner of the net, giving the goalkeeper no chance.

It was a truly exceptional goal, one from a player that has no concerns about his form, and really why should he, as he has found the back for the Hoops on a regular basis for most of the season.

The good news for Celtic though is that Abada could be back in goal scoring form at just the right time.

The Hoops take on Rangers at Ibrox next Sunday, and you have to say that Abada is not guaranteed a place in the starting line-up, as Jota and Daizen Maeda have played well on the wings in recent games, and as a result Abada might start the game on the bench for the Bhoys.

If Abada does get the chance to feature in the game though, he shouldn’t be afraid to take a shot on goal, as he has shown for the Israeli under-21 side that he knows how to find the back of the net.

You have to think that the player will add to his Celtic goal tally before the season comes to an end, but even if he doesn’t, it has still been a very impressive first season in Glasgow for
