According to Honduran media outlet La Prensa, the Europa Conference League holders are interested in the 24-year-old as they look to bolster their attacking options.

A number of MLS clubs have been cited as potential destinations for the ex-Aris attacker, who joined Celtic in the summer of 2023. Palma has made just two starts this season and his introduction as Celtic chased a goal at Tannadice did little to help his case.

Palma had a bright spell in his Celtic career last season but tailed off. He has 10 assists and 10 goals but lacks pace and that killer instinct that Nicolas Kühn and Daizen Maeda have so excellently shown this season. Brendan will want to open up space in his squad and the budget by allowing Palma to move on and you have to say that it would be best for all parties.

Tonight we continue our series on The Celtic Star where we post unpublished works of David Potter dealing with Celtic heroes from the 1930s…

JIMMY MCMENEMY…

Whoever it was who suggested Jimmy McMenemy to come back to Celtic in October 1934 is also the man who won Celtic the Empire Exhibition Trophy. Whether McMenemy was Coach, Assistant Coach, Trainer or whatever, it was he who, in practice if not in theory, privately if not publicly, ran and organised the team in those momentous years of the late 1930s.

Did Maley recommend McMenemy? We shall never know, but we can work a little of what was going on in the mind set of the Directors in 1934. Celtic in 1934 were failing. The few Scottish Cup successes of recent years – including the spectacular one of 1931.
