SHOCKING NEWS:Brendan Rodgers Confirmed the suspension of Luis Palma few minutes ago
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers addressed the omission of Luis Palma from this afternoon’s squad to face Hibernian.
Palma’s absence was a surprise, but despite this, Celtic cruised to a 2-0 win at Easter Road with goals from Nicolas Kuhn and Callum McGregor.
Rodgers said: (Glasgow World), “Palma, 10 days to a couple of weeks. I think when you watch the challenge back, it was a really nasty injury for him.
“He did amazing to play on when you see the rotation in his ankle. He is still a bit of time away.”
Rodgers clearly has sympathy for Palma, who suffered an injury setback last Sunday against Kilmarnock and still managed to play on.
Palma will be missed for his keen eye for goal, but hopefully the Honduran can recover as quickly and safely as possible.
He has proven to be a vital member of the squad, capable of delivering big moments and crucial goals.
Celtic’s trip to Easter Road for their second SPFL game of the season wasn’t just about football—it also highlighted the ongoing controversy surrounding away fan allocations.
The issue came into sharp focus as the reduced number of Celtic supporters in the stadium stood out, with large swathes of the ground left empty. Hibs had cut down the ticket allocation for away fans, citing concerns over the behaviour of Celtic supporters. However, this decision has raised eyebrows, especially given the irony of Hibs’ own fans’ actions in recent times.
The decision to tarp off sections of the stadium instead of allowing more away fans in is baffling. Many fans and pundits see it as a missed opportunity to generate revenue and enhance the atmosphere, particularly when Celtic’s away support is consistently one of the largest in the league. The sight of empty seats and banners over covering others sums up Scottish football’s pettiness. The game, which was live on Sky regularly cut to the empty seats and tarped off areas. A poor visual for the game.
