Whether Palma sees some action is unclear along you would imagine that he will feature in the latter stages of the Champions League match. It’s looking increasing likely that this will be Luis Palma’s last night playing for Celtic with the move back to Greece likely to happen over the next few days.

Palma scored ten goals For Celtic in his first season at the club last year but has failed to find the back of the net in this campaign, although the 25 year-old did net a hat-trick in Ireland in the autumn in a 3-2 friendly win at Sligo.

Luis Palma looked excellent in the summer tour of the United States where Celtic defeated both Manchester City and Chelsea but his earn promise for the season seemed to fade rather quickly.

This transfer will free up the No.7 jersey which may be of interest to the returning Superstar from Portugal who arrived back in Paradise earlier this week to great acclaim.
